Question
My wife is 112 days pregnant, and the doctor recently checked and said she has iron deficiency, and she particularly lacks meat. Do we need to take any iron-supplementing medicine? Doctor, she experienced dizziness in the early stages of pregnancy! And besides fainting! Previous treatment and effects: she has had allergies to many things! What kind of help do you care about: I want to ask what kind of iron supplementation is needed.
Answer
Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is recommended to consume more lean meats, especially lean pork, beef, and lamb. Fainting may be caused by anemia, and it is important to inform patients that they absolutely cannot lack meat during pregnancy.
