Low Hb inspite of injections 3rdtrimestr
I used to have 11.5 hb before pregnancy. It went to 10.5 at the start of 3rd trimester and is now 9.7 towards the end - I am due in feb second week.
My gynaec prescribed 3 IV injections but still it went low.
I am taking iron tablet daily. Only 2-3 doses might have been missed.
What could be the reason?
What needs to be done? Is the injection really effective?
How severe is this? I fear i will get unconscious during labour.

At a hemoglobin of 9.7 you do not require injections
You need investigations to find out the reason for low hemoglobin if you have been regular with the intake of medication

Please consult a General Physician with the full blood test report.
The first reason that comes to mind is poor compliance
(you don't take your medicine regularly).
