What food to eat to increase hemoglobin during pregnancy?
Meri pregnancy mein hemoglobin level thoda kam aa raha hai. Kya koi khaas food items hain jinhe khaane se mera hemoglobin level increase ho sakta hai? Mujhe kuch healthy options chahiye.
I'm currently in my 5th month and my doctor also told me to increase my Hb. I am having beetroot raita and apples daily now. By the way, does anyone else get terrible constipation after taking iron tablets?
Haan, humare ghar pe toh dadi bolti thin ki roz palak ka saag aur anar khao. Blood badhane ke liye beetroot halwa or juice is also very good, bas daily diet me thoda dhyan rakhna padega na.
A very simple tip is to have dates (khajur) and pomegranate daily. Also, try to squeeze a little lemon juice on your green veggies because Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron much better! Do keep taking your prenatal vitamins too.
Look, diet alone won't do magic if your Hb is very low. Eat beetroot, spinach (palak), and pomegranate daily, but make sure you are regularly taking the iron tablets prescribed by your doctor. No compromises there.
Please get your levels checked by your gynac first. My hemoglobin dropped dangerously low in my second trimester and caused complications, so food alone wasn't enough. Your doctor might need to adjust your iron supplement dose.
