My hb came a little low in last report and gynac said i should focus on diet. Want to add natural cheezein, not just rely on tablets. What all helped you guys? Pls share.
I am currently trying to prepare my body for pregnancy and looking for ways to boost my iron levels beforehand. I've heard that eating vitamin C along with iron-rich food helps in better absorption. Is anyone else also trying to improve their diet before conceiving?
Carrying twins means you need double the blood, so my doctor had me on a strict high-iron diet. I was practically living on spinach, apples, and dates, and sometimes felt like a goat chewing leaves all day! But hey, it kept my iron levels perfect till delivery.
Focus on iron-rich foods like spinach, dates, and sesame seeds, and cook in iron utensils. Also, avoid drinking tea or coffee immediately after meals because it blocks iron absorption. This is a very simple and practical rule that works.
Oh sweetie, don't stress too much about the numbers! Just start snacking on dried figs, dates, and a glass of fresh beetroot-apple juice every day. You've got this, just eat healthy and stay relaxed!
When I was staying with my parents, my mother made sure I had a small bowl of soaked black raisins and a cup of beetroot juice every morning. She also cooked iron-rich subzis in an iron kadhai, which is an old traditional way to boost blood levels naturally.
I had a C-section and lost quite a bit of blood, so keeping hemoglobin high during pregnancy is super important for recovery. I used to have boiled spinach and dates every single day, which helped me stay strong. Please take your iron supplements regularly as well, they make a big difference.
Haan bilkul, anemia toh bahut common hai pregnancy me! Apni diet me palak, anar, aur chukandar zaroor shamil karo na. Aur sabse badhiya hai ki gujiya ya gaur me thoda sa jaggery (gur) khao, usse bhi blood badhta hai.
I had to manage thyroid along with borderline low iron during my pregnancy, so my diet was closely monitored. Besides eating green leafy veggies and apples, I had to get regular blood tests done every month. Make sure you don't skip your routine doctor follow-ups to keep a check on those levels.
Hey! Eat lots of pomegranates, beetroot, and green veggies like broccoli and spinach. They are amazing for boosting blood and will keep you glowing too! 🌟 Just stay happy and eat well!
Actually, my hemoglobin dropped like anything in my second trimester, yaar. I started eating beetroot and pomegranate daily, and it really helped. Just make sure you are regular with your diet because baby takes away all your iron!
I can only share what worked for me personally during my pregnancy. I found that having a mix of pomegranate juice and dates really helped boost my low hemoglobin levels. But please discuss your diet with your own doctor first.
