My gynac started me on iron tablets from this month and I forgot to ask her properly why. Im not even anemic na, my reports were fine. Just curious matlab is it needed for everyone or only some cases?
Iron prevents anemia during delivery, which is very crucial. I had GD, so along with the pills my doctor gave, I focused on iron-rich foods like spinach and roasted chana.
Iron is essential to maintain hemoglobin levels as blood volume increases during pregnancy. Your doctor is the best person to recommend the right brand and dose, so please stick to their prescription.
I know those big black tablets can taste weird and cause constipation, but they are a lifesaver. Our bodies work so hard to make a miracle, we need this support.
Along with the pills your gynac gives, try having beetroot or pomegranate juice ghar pe. But if you have extreme weakness or dizzy spells, please consult your doctor immediately.
Actually, iron tablets are a must to avoid severe weakness, yaar. My gynac told me it helps the baby grow properly, so please don't skip them even if you hate the taste.
Our bodies need to make extra blood for the baby, so iron is really important. I took mine daily and noticed it helped me stay strong even after delivery while breastfeeding.
