My last report came and hb is on the lower side, gynac wasnt too happy. Im 26 weeks now and honestly feeling tired all the time. What foods actually worked for u all to bring it up quickly?
My amma made me drink ragi and have lots of greens and dates, which helped a bit. But I trusted my doctors iron tablets for the real rise. Combine both na, food and the prescribed supplement.
Honestly food helps but if its really low, the iron supplements from your doctor work faster. I added vitamin C foods like lemon and orange with my iron rich meals, helps absorption. Dont have tea or coffee right after iron, it blocks it.
Beta eat green leafy sabzi, beetroot, dates, jaggery and pomegranate, these helped in our time. Cook in iron kadhai also. But take your iron tablets that the doctor gave, ghar ke nuskhe alone wont raise it fast enough.
Mine dropped quite low and diet alone wasnt enough, my doctor had to adjust my iron dose and monitor it. Please dont try to fix very low hb fast on your own, get your gynac to guide the supplements. Low hb in pregnancy needs proper attention.
