My blood report came and Hb is low, and I have been feeling tired and breathless after small work. I will show it to my gynac, but till then I am anxious. Anyone had low hemoglobin in pregnancy?
Low hb is super common in pregnancy. Take the iron your gynac prescribes regularly, dont take it with milk or tea, it blocks absorption. Add green veggies and they'll recheck after a few weeks.
If it's quite low pls dont just rely on food, get it managed properly by your doctor. Mine was very low and they had to give iron injections. Better to get it sorted early before delivery.
My amma made me eat ragi, dates and lots of greens, said it builds blood. It did help but my doctor's iron tablets did the real work. Just keep taking them on time and you'll see it improve.
Beta, ghar pe we always gave palak, beetroot, anar and dates for blood. Soaked black raisins in morning also helped my bahu. But these are just support, the iron tablets your doctor gives are the main thing, dont skip those.
Mine dropped too around 6 months. Doc added an iron supplement and told me to eat more dates, spinach and jaggery. Try taking iron with vitamin c like lemon water, it absorbs better. But let your doctor decide the dose na.
