Is it normal to have elevated hgb f levels of 1.4 (range 0-1) in an adult 20 days after giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fetal hb: If you don't have elevation of fetal hb prior to giving birth- then yes, most likely that is from the baby's blood. And it is okay. However there is a condition that is called persistent fetal hemoglobin , or other condition like sickle cell anemia that can cause some elevation of fetal hb.

Ever since giving birth, Ive had blood in stool. I went to a gastroenterologist, & I got a flexible sigmoidoscopy, which showed I had hemorrhoids. It found 1 polyp, but after biopsy, it was a normal one. A year later, I still find bright blood. Why?
