I received a phone call from my doctor telling me that my RBC count has dropped from a 36 to a 24,,,he wants me to get a stat blood work done to make sure that the lab didnt do the test wrong... what does this mean for me or my baby?  <response>: Hi, I understand your concern. Low blood count in pregnancy needs to be treated well to avoid untoward effects on pregnancy, It consists of- - Oral iron, folic acid, B12, vitamin C with high protein diet meat, eggs, diary products - Injectable Iron IM IVmay be needed in case of sever iron deficiency anemia. - Blood transfusion with cross-matched blood of same group is indicated in sever anemia. A sudden Chat Doctor. It indicates some form of hidden blood loss lack of blood formation in body. Here treatment of anemia is as important as the control of bleeding is. That is why doctor has ordered for repeat blood count. Thanks.
