My gynac added iron tablets from this month and honestly they make me a bit constipated so i was wondering if they are really must. Im 18 weeks and my Hb was on lower side. Do all of u take them through whole pregnancy?
My doctor explained baby pulls iron from u so deficiency becomes anemia fast. She said take it after meal not on empty stomach coz it can cause acidity. Vitamin C wala fruit with it helps absorption she told.
Beta tablets toh doctor dega hi. Saath me ghar ka khana bhi rakho, dates, beetroot, palak, jaggery these help naturally. But tablet skip mat karna if gynac said so.
Haan they usually start it after first trimester. My gynac gave from 4th month onwards in both my pregnancies. Just dont skip, low hemoglobin is common here.
Mine was on low side so doc gave iron plus told me to get hb checked every month. Pls dont decide on ur own, get ur blood test done and let gynac tell the dose.
