A member asked:
Is it safe to be a blood donor while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is important to keep blood flow to the uterus to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the baby. Anemia, or a low blood count is a common complication of pregnancy. It is not advised to donate blood during pregnancy to avoid complications from anemia that may happen from removing your important blood volume.
