It is advisable to take the iron injection. During birth you will loose blood and this will bring the levels down further. It will cause weakness and post partum recovery will be slower. Even now the last few weeks the growth of the baby will also be slower.

have pomogranate daily, 1 beet root daily, n home made tomato soup daily.<br> within a week it will increase dont worry

hb should be ideally 11. even my hb was a little low. I had lots of fruits (mostly apples and pomegranate)&nbsp; which helped but you're already 36 weeks so if your doc says iron shot then I guess not a problem
