Iron Supplements & Hemoglobin Builders
Iron Supplements & Hemoglobin Builders
During pregnancy your blood volume will double between 18 and 24 weeks. We expect your hemoglobin to drop a little during this time. Your hemoglobin will be checked at your 28 week appointment to make sure that it is not to low. Taking chlorophyll will help your hemoglobin levels but sometimes you need more help.
​
Low hemoglobin is called anemia.
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the blood and when it is low you and your baby aren't getting as much oxygen as you need. This can cause fatigue and can increase your chances of having a postpartum hemorrhage.
In pregnancy, the most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Please increase iron rich foods in your diet. Red meat and dark green vegetables are good sources of iron.
