My latest blood report showed low hb and the doc said im slightly anaemic. Im in my 5th month and honestly i dont fully understand what it means for the baby or me. Can someone explain in simple words what anaemia in pregnancy actually is?
My haemoglobin dropped quite low and I felt very weak and dizzy, so they treated it seriously. Please dont take anaemia lightly, follow your doctors iron plan and diet. Regular blood tests keep it in check.
It means low haemoglobin, basically not enough iron rich blood, which is common in pregnancy as the body needs more. My doc checked it with a blood test and put me on iron with vitamin C foods. Symptoms can be tiredness, paleness and breathlessness.
Beta this is khoon ki kami, weakness from low iron. We give beetroot, dates, jaggery, green leafy sabzi and pomegranate to help. But take your iron tablets too as the doctor says, food alone may not be enough na.
