How to increase hemoglobin count during pregnancy?
My hb came out low in the last blood test, around 9 something, and im 5 months now. Feeling tired all the time which makes sense I guess. Apart from tablets what foods helped you raise it?
My amma made me eat lots of green leafy veg, dates, jaggery and ragi, all good for iron. Having vitamin c like lemon with iron foods helps absorption too. But take your iron tablets as the doctor prescribes, food alone may not be enough.
Cheap and effective things like spinach, dates and jaggery worked for me, no need for fancy stuff. The iron tablets are usually given free at the clinic too. Get your hb checked regularly to track it.
If your hb is quite low please dont rely only on food, my doctor had to step up my iron and monitor it. Low hb needs proper follow up. Keep your gynac updated on your reports.
Beta, in our home we gave beetroot, pomegranate and dates for blood. Soaked dry dates in the morning are good. But also follow the doctors iron tablet, dont skip it for just home food.
