Pregnancy Advice

Asked for Female, 33 years

I am 18 weeks pregnant with the first baby. My Hb level was detected 6.2 a few weeks back. Dr. recommended me a blood transfusion. Currently, One PCV is transfused, two venofirs are also injected. Now my Hb level is 7.8. Dr. has recommended me another PCV transfusion. Need ur advise if iron injections are enough or blood is needed? And does it pose any risk to my pregnancy? No anomaly has been found in my 17 weeks scan.

Dear Patient,

It is very normal for anemic pregnant women to receive pcv and venofer injections. Your doctor will also recommend iron tablets and you must take them regularly. Eat iron rich foods esp chicken liver lightly boiled and consume the water too, have pomegranate, beetroot, apples, dates and beef in good quantity. Continue following your doctors advice. Hb should minimum be 9 at time of delivery but every doctor has their own preference.
