My hb came a bit low in last report and doc mentioned anemia. I keep reading about some WHO levels but its confusing. Matlab at what number is it actually counted as anemia in pregnancy? 22 weeks now.
Haan, WHO ke hisab se agar hemoglobin 11 se kam ho toh use anemia bolte hain. But isme darna nahi hai, doctor se baat karke acche iron supplements aur diet shuru kar dena na, sab normal ho jayega.
Yes, WHO says below 11 g/dL means you are anemic. I am in my third trimester now and between the exhaustion of pregnancy and my low Hb, I feel like a sleepy sloth. Get your doctor to check your reports so you can get some energy back!
The World Health Organization sets the threshold for gestational anemia at hemoglobin levels less than 11 g/dL. While eating iron-rich foods helps, your doctor's advice on proper supplementation is the most effective way to manage it safely.
A hemoglobin level under 11 is the WHO mark for anemia. I had severe complications due to low iron during my delivery, so please take this very seriously and let your gynecologist prescribe the right iron supplements for you.
WHO defines anemia in pregnancy as a hemoglobin level below 11 g/dL. When I was dealing with thyroid, I had to get regular blood tests to check my iron levels too, so please make sure to follow up with your doctor regularly.
According to WHO, hemoglobin below 11 is considered anemia. I remember my Hb dropped to 10 during my second trimester, but with my gynac's iron tablets, it got sorted easily. Now my active toddler keeps me on my toes, so don't worry!
