What causes iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy:

 

 

Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen to your tissues. During pregnancy, you need twice as much iron as a non-pregnant woman. Your body needs this iron to make more blood to provide oxygen to your baby. If you do not have enough iron reserves or get enough iron during pregnancy, you may develop iron deficiency anemia.

 

 

 
 

How iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy affects babies:

 

 

Severe anemia during pregnancy increases your risk of premature birth, low birth weight and postpartum depression. Some studies have also shown that there is an increased risk of infant death before or after birth.

 

 
 

What are the risk factors for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy:

 

If you meet the following conditions, you have an increased risk of developing anemia during pregnancy:

● The two pregnancies are very close

● Multiple babies

● Often vomiting due to morning sickness

● Don't consume enough iron

● Heavy menstrual flow before pregnancy

● A history of anemia before pregnancy

 

 
 

What are the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy?

 

 

The signs and symptoms of anemia include:

● fatigue

● weakness

● Pale or yellowish skin

● Arrhythmia

● Shortness of breath

● Dizziness or lightheadedness

● Chest pain

● Cold hands and feet

● Headache

 

But keep in mind that the symptoms of anemia are usually similar to normal pregnancy symptoms. Regardless of whether you have symptoms, blood tests will be performed to screen for anemia during pregnancy.

 

 

The kit adopts immunofluorescence double antibody sandwich method to quantitatively detect the content of Fer in human serum, plasma or whole blood.

 

 

How to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy?

Ø Prenatal vitamins usually contain iron. Taking iron-containing prenatal vitamins can help prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. In some cases, your healthcare provider may recommend that you supplement iron alone.

Ø Good nutrition can also prevent iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Dietary sources of iron include lean meat, poultry and fish. Other options include iron-fortified cereal breakfast, prune juice, dried beans and peas. Iron in animal products (such as meat) is most easily absorbed. To enhance the absorption of iron from plant sources and supplements, pair them with vitamin C-rich foods or beverages, such as orange juice, tomato juice, or strawberries. If you take iron supplements with orange juice, avoid adding calcium. Although calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy, calcium reduces iron absorption.

Ø If you are taking iron-containing prenatal vitamins and are anemic, your healthcare provider may recommend testing to determine other possible causes. In some cases, you may need to see a doctor (hematologist) who specializes in blood diseases. If the cause is iron deficiency, iron supplementation may be recommended. If you have a history of gastric bypass surgery or small bowel surgery, or cannot tolerate oral iron, you may need intravenous iron.
