💜 : Preventing Anemia in Pregnant Women 🤰🩸
Anemia is common during pregnancy and can occur when the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells, often because of iron or folate deficiency. It can leave a pregnant woman feeling tired, weak, dizzy, or short of breath.
🌸 How to help prevent anemia:
🥬 Eat iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, beans, lentils, meat, fish, and fortified foods.
🍊 Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods to help the body absorb iron.
💊 Take prescribed prenatal iron and folic acid supplements as recommended.
🩺 Attend antenatal appointments and have your blood levels checked when advised.
🚰 Maintain a healthy, balanced diet and follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
🚨 Take action: Don’t ignore persistent tiredness, weakness, dizziness, or breathlessness during pregnancy. Speak with a healthcare professional.
Healthy blood supports a healthy pregnancy. Start antenatal care early and protect your health and your baby’s health. 💜
