Reduced level of hemoglobin – the frequent phenomenon during pregnancy. This phenomenon is also called iron deficiency anemia. It is considered frivolous pathology therefore also its treatment is given small value. Meanwhile, it is necessary to raise hemoglobin at pregnancy.
To understand why it is important to support the normal level of hemoglobin, it is necessary to know what consequences iron deficiency anemia can cause:
- premature birth;
- fluidifying and deterioration in blood clotting (leads to the strengthened bleeding at childbirth and the postnatal period);
- pains in a breast to a cage, the shortage of oxygen, symptoms of dystrophy of a cardiac muscle;
- decrease in sokratitelny ability of a uterus (risk of long childbirth);
- the slowed-down development of a fruit.
These are only the main, most obvious threats connected with anemia. For this reason it is important to increase hemoglobin level at pregnancy at least to the lower limit of admissible norm.
Reasons of reduced hemoglobin
There are several circumstances which lead to decrease in hemoglobin. The lack of iron of an organism and frequent toxicoses concern them.
However decrease in hemoglobin at pregnancy is a natural process. On 25-30 week in an organism by 1.5 times the blood circulation volume increases. Because of it the level of erythrocytes increases by a third whereas the amount of hemoglobin decreases to 110 gr/l. This mark is characterized by physiological anemia. It is not so dangerous as it iron deficiency and requires only special attention.
How to increase hemoglobin level at pregnant women
To raise hemoglobin in blood on necessary norm, it is necessary to know severity of anemia. Allocate three stages:
- easy (90-110 gr/l);
- average (70-90 gr/l);
- heavy (70 gr/l and less).
The easiest way of a raising of hemoglobin in blood is change of food. It is necessary to add to a diet mushrooms, wheat bran, cocoa, a sea cabbage, buckwheat, bean, raspberry, beet, apples, carrots, bananas and other products, iron content in which it is rather big.
Besides, it is recommended to see a doctor. The expert will carry out survey of a fruit. Depending on results the treatment can be appointed. In addition it can include administration of medicines, containing iron.
Also there is a set of recipes which help to increase the maintenance of red blood cells. For example, it is possible to mix dried apricots, walnuts, honey and raisin in equal quantities. They need to be passed via the meat grinder and to bring to homogeneous mass. The received mix is accepted on several tablespoons in day.
