36 weeks pregnant. HB level is 9.2 while normal range should be 12 -15. My docter has recommended i get 3 iron doses done but my MIL thinks its nothing to go crazy about...what do i do? I am in AB- BLOOD GROUP.

Question

Answer

Is your mil a dr? I’d listen to your medical professional before someone who isn’t qualified... especially someone who’s been working with you throughout your pregnancy anyways because they’ve seen your case so far.

Answer

If it's under 10,5 in third trimester it should be taken care of. It's important for both you and baby! So look up foods with plenty of iron and C-vitamin. And ignore your MIL!

Answer

Its normal for hb to get down to that level during 3rd trimester!!!!

Answer

Iron doses vs. a potiental blood transfusion post delivery and making it harder to care for a newborn? Probably should just get the iron while your body has time to gear up for labour.
