Have you been diagnosed with anemia in pregnancy and simply told to take more iron?
Did you know that if you have had significant blood loss at your birth that you could be anemic postpartum, and increasing iron gives you better outcomes with recovery, breastmilk production and mental health?
Maybe you have been supplementing with iron to raise your levels already and not making the progress you were hoping for by now?
Perhaps you are pulling out all the tools and resources to get your iron levels up but struggling with some awful side effects like nausea and constipation?
One way to be certain that you are building up your blood well, either in preparation for normal blood loss, or in recovery from blood loss postpartum, is to work on getting your iron stores optimal, especially if you have been diagnosed as anemic. Blood building can prove to be quite difficult without some nutritional expertise in your corner.
The keys to increasing your iron are:
locating a quality supplement
ingesting the right type of supplemental iron
pairing it with the helpers that aid absorption
separating it from the nutrients that impede absorption
understanding hemoglobin and the functional range you want to see this lab value in during pregnancy and postpartum
