My haemoglobin was 10.5,my gynaec advised me to take 100gms kismis daily.I am having 100gms kismis daily but after 12days my haemoglobin has not increased.But I was under stress for last 1week due to some domestic issues. Is stress the reason for non increase of my haemoglobin or should I take something else for improvement.Doctors pls reply.What should be the normal haemoglobin range for a 6months pregnant lady?

Things to know about Iron rich foods: 1. Adding meat or seafood to a meal will increase iron absorption from eggs, dals, vegetables in that meal. 2. Calcium-rich foods in the same meal will impede iron absorption, so avoid combining iron with dairy foods. 3. Iron-rich foods absorb better in the presence of vitamin C. 4. Iron-rich vegetarian foods include lentils and other legumes (dals), beans (rajma etc), dried fruits (raisins, dates, prunes, apricots etc), leafy green veggies (broccoli, different saag/keerai varieties), millets (ragi, etc). 5. Vitamin C is in mangoes, tomatoes, pumpkin, lime and other citrus fruits, capsicum, etc. Bonus: fermenting, sprouting and soaking grains and dals hugely increases how much iron is absorbed from it. Spinach is not easy to absorb iron from. Too many chemicals in it that impede absorption, phytates, oxalates, fibre.

Hi Richa dont know why kismis alone was recommended you need to have iron rich foods. Have your iron tablet in the morning along with lemon juice or orange juice it helps best iron absorption and your Hemoglobin will increase.
