My recent blood report showed low rbc and doc said i need to improve it. Apart from medicines, any food or diet that actually helped u during pregnancy? Im 22 weeks now.
Oh dear, I totally understand how stressful it is when your blood reports show low counts, it makes you worry so much about the baby. Please take care of yourself, eat lots of beetroot and spinach with love. Your body is doing a beautiful job nurturing this little life.
You can try having pomegranate juice, soaked raisins, and beetroot salad daily, as these are great natural ways to boost RBC. But please remember, if you feel very dizzy, breathless, or extremely weak, consult your doctor immediately as you might need proper medical supplements.
Low RBC is super common in pregnancy because of blood dilution. Focus on a diet rich in iron, folic acid, and B12—like spinach, beans, and eggs. Also, always take your iron supplements with orange juice or lemon water, as Vitamin C drastically improves absorption!
I had thyroid issues along with low hemoglobin, and it was a struggle. My best advice is to get your blood checked regularly and never skip your doctor's follow-up appointments. They will give you the exact iron and folic acid dosage you need safely.
Raising RBC with twins was a full-time job for me, my doctor literally put me on an iron mission! Focus on eating iron-rich food like dates, pomegranate, and green veggies along with Vitamin C to help absorption. And don't forget to swallow those iron pills your doc gave you!
With a busy work schedule, managing diet is hard, so keep it simple. Carry a box of mixed nuts and dates to office, and try to have a spinach soup or beetroot juice whenever you get time. Don't skip your routine doctor visits to keep an eye on your reports.
