My wife is six months pregnant. Her Haemglobin level 5 months ago was 9.6 after which she was put on Orofer XT twice a day. Haemoglobin has only reduced since then to current of 8.6 ( 2 days ago). Today she was put on Orofer S intravenous injection. Should more tests be conducted to test root cause of low haemoglobin now or to wait and check if Orofer S helps. Also, Will low haemoglobin cause any issues during pregnancy/ to baby?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there will be demodulation in pregnancy which makes the HE lower. Low HE might cause growth restriction of baby, low liquor etc. The persistence of low HE till the last months of pregnancy causes the complications. As she is in 6th month there is enough time for increasing the HE level. If the HE doesn't increase even after iron injections it might need to work up. So don't worry low HE is routinely found. It gets corrected with iron treatment mostly. Take iron rich diet. Best regards....
