Due Date Club May 2007:Regd Hb level- Archie Pls clarify

2007-03-19

Name: Shalini Hi,
Iam in my 33 week of pregnancy, baby' s doing good. I am not able to take Iron tablets and have been taking only folvite once a day till last week, when the doc gave me iron tonic (which at least iam able to withstand). My current Hb level is 11.8.. Is this Ok? I dont have swelling in feet or giddiness though !! Wanted to make sure that my decreasing levels of Hb shud not affect the baby' s growth.

Pls clarify my doubt. Thanks !!
Shalini Deb

hi

good tat u can take dates and raisins. kids weight seems to very fine. u can verify the weight by going to the foll address.

if u go to baby center site - ie., after getting into the site put black slash - then type general - put black slash - then type pregnancy -put black slash and u can find the chart which displays babys weight for all the weeks.

its also nice to hear that u hv an understanding MIL who helps u plan ur foodchart.

best wishes.

cheers

hi

i am april board. got to read ur msg. even my Hb count came down to 10.5mg. 11.5 mg is min for ladies. eventhou u r the above the min level, still u hv to take more iron as i had 12.4 in my 22nd week which dropped down to 10.5 in 32 weeks.

so ensure u take iron rich foods. u can take pomegranite and dates. however as dates generates heat - it is advisable to drink milk after that. also take more spinach and fibre rich supplements.

ur baby will b perfectly fine - u need not worry on this. stay cool. tats wat matters a lot.

wish u a happy motherhood.

cheers

Hi Sarada,
Thanks for the reply !!!
Yeah when i was 3 month preg my Hb was 13.4, then came to 12.5 and now in 33 week it is 11.8..
u know what, i am restricted from eating green leafy veggies, no fruits allowed except guava and banana,, no kaju.. literally nothing i relish :-(
but YESSS I can eat dates !!!! and i can try raisins as xyz suggested...
It´ s bcos of some neurological problem which causes me stomach pain, whenever i eat,, and even i morsel extra,, i vomit the whole thing then and there.. very badddddd it iss.....
it leaves me with very little choice of food, but touchwood my mil is divine, she take cares of me and has chartered out a diet... which is keepng me fine now..
I hope it continues this way.... Praying for the best..
but after all this the only thing convincing is that baby is doing gud..
went for USG on saturday.. 32.3 weeks.. weighing 1948 gms +-15%..
Thats fine right?

Iron

Hi shalini,

If you can not take iron tablets, then do make it a point to doak a bunch of black raisins (about 7 or 8)in little water every night and eat them off with the water in the morning. This is the best home made resource for iron supplement. My doctor advised me to do that in India.
