My latest report came and hb dropped compared to before, doc said its a bit low. Im 6 months now. Just curious why this happens during pregnancy, is it normal for everyone?
Oh, this happens to many pregnant women, don't worry too much. Your body is making a lot more blood for the baby, so sometimes the iron gets used up fast. Just eat good food like spinach and jaggery, and take your iron tablets regularly. God bless.
At my hospital, they explained that blood volume increases by almost 50% during pregnancy. This dilutes your red blood cells, causing a dip in HB. It's usually managed with iron supplements and diet. Make sure to ask your doctor or the nutritionist there for a detailed plan.
HB decreasing is very common, darling! Your blood volume increases so much during pregnancy to support the baby, which naturally dilutes the red blood cells. My doctor focused on iron-rich foods, especially with my gestational diabetes, to keep everything in check. But pls discuss your specific levels with your gynac.
Haan, this happened to me too. My mom and my gynac both said it's very normal because your body is making so much extra blood for the baby. They made sure I ate lots of dates, anjeer, and green veggies. Just follow your doctor's advice carefully, beti.
Ugh, I remember my HB dropping, especially when morning sickness made it so hard to eat anything! It's because your blood volume expands a lot. Your doc will probably give you iron supplements. Just try to eat whatever you can, even if it's small meals, to keep your strength up.
