Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Anemia of Pregnancy: Because your body increases its blood volume during pregnancy, the amount of blood cells can often be diluted and women can become anemic. You can start an iron supplement like ferrous sulfate 325mg taken once daily or twice daily to increase your hemoglobin.
