A haemoglobin of 9 with a ferritin of 23 confirms iron deficiency anaemia, which is common in pregnancy because your baby's growing needs extra iron from you. Missing a dose or two isn't harmful, but skipping it regularly can slow down how much your levels improve before delivery.
Next Steps
Try taking your iron tablet at the same time each day, ideally with vitamin C like orange juice, which helps absorption. If nausea or an upset stomach is why you keep missing doses, tell your obstetrician, since changing the timing or form of iron can make it easier to tolerate.
Health Tips
Please don't double up on a missed dose. Discuss this with your obstetrician at your next visit, so your iron plan can be adjusted and your haemoglobin can be rechecked.
