My report came and hb is 9.7, im 22 weeks. Doc didnt say much but mujhe tension ho gayi. Is this very low or kind of okay? feeling tired all the time also.
From what my doctor explained, anything below 11 g/dL is usually considered low in pregnancy, and below 10.5 g/dL in the second and third trimesters is definitely anemia. So 9.7 is low. You'll likely need iron supplements and dietary changes.
Yeah, that's a bit low for pregnancy. Your doctor will probably put you on iron tablets or increase your current dosage. Also, focus on iron-rich foods like leafy greens and jaggery, it helps.
I can only tell you about myself, my Hb was around 10 in my second trimester, and my doc immediately gave me iron supplements. So it might be considered low. But please, consult your own doctor, har body alag hota hai.
Please, beti, don't take any chances with your health. Hemoglobin levels are very important in pregnancy. Get it checked by your gynac immediately and follow whatever they say. Safety is most important.
This is something that absolutely needs a direct consultation with your gynac. Hemoglobin levels are crucial for both you and the baby's health. Pls call them and get proper medical advice.
I had complications, so I learned how crucial it is to keep Hb levels in check for a healthy pregnancy. Please consult your gynac right away; they'll guide you on supplements and diet.
