Oh, I was so stressed when my blood test showed low hemoglobin! I thought it would affect my baby, but my gynac reassured me it's just because the body makes extra blood. Please don't worry, just take your iron pills regularly.
It's because your blood volume increases to support the baby, which dilutes the iron levels. I managed to keep my levels up by eating spinach, beetroots, and taking my daily iron tablets. Stay positive and eat well!
My hemoglobin also dropped to 9.5 recently and I was so tired. My doc started me on iron pills, are you also taking any? It seems so common during these months.
My hospital's resident doctor explained that hemodilution causes low hemoglobin during pregnancy. They advised me to take iron supplements with vitamin C and checked my levels every trimester. Do ask your hospital staff for a proper diet chart.
My mother-in-law suggested eating dates and pomegranate daily to boost my blood count, which really helped. But low hemoglobin is common because of blood dilution, so I strictly followed my doctor's prescription for iron tablets too.
Haan na, pregnancy me khoon ki kami hona bohot common hai kyuki body jyada blood banati hai. Gynac se ek baar supplements pooch lo na, thoda beet and palak bhi khaya karo.
