Patient discussion about anemic.

Q. What shall I include in my diet to cover the anemic condition and is anemia increases with pregnancy? Hi all. I am in my second week of pregnancy. I am anemic and prefer to have vegetarian diet. What shall I include in my diet to cover the anemic condition and is anemia increases with pregnancy?

A. Agree with Maverick's answer above..

Anemia in pregnancy is a very common problem, that's why during your antenatal care, usually your OB-GYn doctor or medical professional will give you iron tablet for supplements.

Unless your anemia is severe, it is unlikely to harm your baby. But iron deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of preterm birth and low birthweight. Anemia can also make you feel more tired than usual during your pregnancy.

You can help lower your risk of anemia by eating foods that contain iron during your entire pregnancy. These foods include:

Poultry (dark meat), Dried fruits (apricots, prunes, figs, raisins, dates), Iron-fortified cereals, breads and pastas, Oatmeal, Whole grains, Blackstrap molasses, Liver and other meats, Seafood, Spinach, broccoli, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables, Baked potato with skin, Beans and peas, Nuts and seeds, etc.

Also some fruit that rich in Vitamin C because vitamin C can increase the amount of iron yo

Q. I am anemic and mom says that I may have to face health hazards. Whether Chinese Medicine can suit my problem I have been enjoying poor health from my young age. I am anemic and my mom says that I may have to face health hazards in my later age because of very poor Hemoglobin in my blood level. Though I am willing to get me treated with Chinese medicine, I am little confused as to the type of Chinese medicine available and whether that can suit my problem. The treatment should not harm. I need suggestions.

A. Ok, I shall suggest you to go for Chinese herbal medicines as they have no side effects and they have no needle to be pierced inside the skin. Herbal treatment is proven with good results in curing anemia and acupuncture too has good results but herbal treatment is well known for the treatment of anemia.
