Pregnant women need to go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check ups during pregnancy, and blood routine is one of the prenatal check items. Due to the increase in blood volume during pregnancy, hemoglobin is relatively diluted, and fetal growth and development require blood to transport nutrients. Therefore, some pregnant women are worried that anemia may occur after blood sampling. They want to know how to supplement blood after prenatal check ups?
If pregnant women want to supplement their blood after prenatal check ups, they can actually start with their diet by eating more iron rich foods, such as animal liver (pig liver), animal blood (pig blood, chicken blood), egg yolks, spinach, fungus, red dates, longan, soybeans, and yellow bean products, which can improve the body's hematopoietic function and replenish blood in a timely manner.
In addition, pregnant women also need to eat foods rich in vitamin C, such as Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, chrysanthemum, amaranth, celery, toon, bitter gourd, beans, edamame, peas, chives, new dates, sour dates, oranges, hawthorns, lemons, kiwis, seabuckthorn, prickly pear, citrus, oranges, etc., because vitamin C can promote the absorption and utilization of iron in the body.
Generally speaking, pregnant women can consume sufficient iron through adjusting their diet to meet their own and fetal needs for iron, without experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. However, if pregnant women experience serious symptoms such as pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, blurred eyes, tinnitus, palpitations, and increased heart rate, they need to be given medication supplements and follow medical advice when taking medication.
