Feeling tired and a bit dizzy lately, im around 18 weeks. My hb was borderline before pregnancy itself. from which stage does anemia usually kick in? wondering if i should get blood tested again soon.
Beta in our time we used to give beetroot, dates and palak regularly for blood. It can start anytime really but builds up in middle months. Eat well but still take the doctor's iron, that is important.
My doctor said hb naturally dips because blood plasma increases faster than red cells, mostly noticeable by second trimester. She checks it at booking and again around 28 weeks. If yours is low ask about the right iron supplement.
It usually shows up more in the second trimester when blood volume goes up. Both my pregnancies my hb dropped around the 5th month. Keep eating iron rich food and take the tablets your doc gives.
