Iron rich food and juices...?

Question

I did my third trimester blood work today and my hemoglobin came back 11.2 and it is supposed to be 12.2 && MCHC came back 31.2 and it is supposed to be in 33... Does anybody knows any juices or food who are rich in iron besides beans, liver, spinach??? Or should I start taking iron supplements??? 
I am 27weeks pregnant 🥳🙂

Answer

I do a lot of oysters (cooked) and other shellfish.  Honestly though, eating a high iron diet has done nothing to increase my iron.  I can’t stomach the supplements though and it’s not low enough for insurance to cover infusions…just low enough to make me feel like shit!
Make sure to get lots of vitamin c in your diet though as that’s supposed to help absorb iron and b vitamins

Answer

Museli, lentils, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, cereal, prunes.

Answer

They are markers that affect iron but aren’t made from iron. Hb needs protein and other nutrients. 
What was your ferritin? That’s the only one that indicates iron requirements

Answer

Dairy can interfere with iron absorption. Try to have your iron rich foods and/or vitamins with fruit juice that is high in vitamin C. Red meat and sardines are very high in iron, if you eat meat.

Answer

Just take iron supplements and maybe even a stool softener because it may cause constipation ..
