A member asked:

What are normal heamoglobin, ferittin and iron levels for a 32 week pregnant woman? my heamoglobin is normal at 11.4 but my ferritin and iron count are low at 8 and 5.4 respectively. my gp and gynecologist disagree on whether i should be admitted.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Low iron" ?'s: Low iron values may require supplemental iron orally at this point in a 32w pregnancy, but admission is rarely indicated for your stated labs. Ask your OB physician about additional oral iron supplements.
