I had low Hb too, so my gynac asked me to take iron tablets regularly. I also ate a lot of beetroot and pomegranate, which really helped to bring it up.

Low hemoglobin can make you feel extremely fatigued and weak. It's best to consult your gynac, as they will likely prescribe safe iron supplements.

My app tracked my iron levels and warned that low Hb can affect baby's birth weight. Definitely follow your doctor's advice on iron supplements.

Uff, low Hb made me crave so many iron-rich foods! I practically lived on spinach soup and beetroot cutlets, but definitely take the iron pills your doc prescribes too.

My hemoglobin dropped to 9 in my second trimester and I felt so tired all the time. My doc put me on iron pills, and I was absolutely fine, so don't worry.
