Hello This is my first time on BabyChakra I am 29 weeks and 3 days pregnant. My hemoglobine level is 9.1 scoor ding to yesterday’s reports. Is that very low?? Is there any risk to my baby and me? Please give some tips. Also please share your experience too on this topic. Currently I am taking this 30 Mg of iron 2 times a day as suggested my doctor. Should I increase?

Vitamin C has been shown to enhance iron absorption. It captures non-heme iron and stores it in a form that's more easily absorbed by your body ( 3 ). Foods high in vitamin C include citrus fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, bell peppers, melons and strawberries.
