I am 33 year old women into my 35th week of pregnancy. I have been going through routine ante-natal check-ups twice a month so far. Every-thing seems to be fine. Have also gone through all required ultrasound including a doppler that was perfectly ok. I have been on very good diet all through my pregnancy. Have been regularly taking calcium and iron apart from few tablets of lycopene. Have also been munching on dry fruits such as apricot, fig, and almonds. Fruits like apple, banana, and pomegranate are regular. Also taking milk regularly. Weight gain is also normal. I have gained 10 kg so far during pregnancy. My query is regarding the hemoglobin level that has dropped recently. The hb level was 12.2 just before the conception. When I got it checked in 27th week it was 10. 4. In the 20th week it came down to 9.4. When I visited the gynecologist, she asked to take three mycovit plus injection (one every third day). After the 1st injection, I got the hb checked, it came at the level of 10.6. I took all the three injections as suggested by the doctor. I thought to get the Hb checked yesterday again. It has come down to 8.6. There is no weakness and fatigue as such. Kindly suggest. Is there any other way to push the hb level up. Blood Sugar level (Both PP and FB) is normal.
