My recent report showed low hemoglobin and gynac started me on iron. Im just trying to understand why it drops so much in pregnancy, was eating ok i thought. Did this happen with u also?
With my PCOS, I was already prone to nutritional deficiencies, and my iron dropped early on. Please make sure you get regular CBC tests done as advised by your doctor to keep track of your levels.
During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by almost 50%, so your body needs double the iron to supply oxygen to the baby. Make sure to take your iron tablets with vitamin C (like lemon water) for better absorption, as doctors advise!
I felt so incredibly exhausted and out of breath all the time, and then my report showed my iron was very low. Once I started taking my prescribed iron pills and eating beetroots, I slowly got my energy back.
Between office work and managing home, I barely had time for fancy diets, which caused my iron to drop. I kept iron-rich snacks like roasted chana and dates at my office desk, which really helped.
My iron levels dropped dangerously low during my second trimester, which caused severe dizziness and weakness. Please don't ignore this, get a blood test done and take the iron supplements your doctor prescribes.
I am also struggling with low iron right now in my sixth month! What foods are you guys eating to increase it quickly along with your daily supplements?
I used to crave pomegranate and spinach soup all the time, which was lucky because my doctor said my iron was low! Eat well and enjoy your meals to keep those levels up.
Behan, pregnancy mein hamara khoon baby ke liye bhi use hota hai, isliye iron kam ho jata hai. Khane mein palak, chukandar aur gur shamil karo, bohot fayda milega.
Haan, pregnancy mein iron deficiency bohot common hai na kyunki baby ko sab hamari body se milta hai. Doctor jo iron ki goli dete hain, use bilkul miss mat karna.
