How to increase hemoglobin in blood during pregnancy?
My hb dropped to 9 in this trimester and gynac said i need to bring it up. Apart from the iron she gave, i want to add good food also. What worked for you ladies to raise it naturally?
Beta eat iron rich foods, palak, beetroot, dates, jaggery, pomegranate all good. My mother always gave us anjeer and dry fruits. But also take the iron tablet your doctor gives, food alone may not be enough in pregnancy.
Green leafy veggies, dal, jaggery and vitamin C foods like amla, lemon help absorb iron better. Take your iron tablet but with citrus not with tea/milk. And if its very low doctor may suggest something stronger, so follow their advice.
Ghar ka khana works best, beetroot, palak, gud, dates roz khao. My dadi gave me sprouts and pomegranate juice daily. And take the medicine doctor gives, both together helped me feel better.
Food helps but if your hb is really low please dont rely only on home stuff. Mine was low and doctor had to give extra support. Keep eating well, take tablets, and let your gynac decide if you need more.
Mine dropped both pregnancies. Eat spinach, beetroot, dates and dont skip the iron tablets, take them with a glass of orange juice. Avoid tea right after meals, it blocks iron. Worked for me.
