Anemic & Pregnant

2017-10-07 22:05:33
I've been anemic for 2/3 years. I'm 21 weeks pregnant and lately have been feeling really hot, nauseous, and weak all at the same time. Do you think this is caused by my low iron? And when should I seek serious medical help (ER) for it.

YES, it may be due to Iron deficiency or other Anemia, go for complete haemogram Test and iron profile, Hemoglobin must be above 8 gm percent during entire pregnancy and better to maintain above 10 gm percent.
