A member asked:

Iam 28 weeks pregnant and my packed cell volume (pcv) is 27.8% is anything danger ?? and how to increase my iron levels ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral iron : For the sake of your and your baby's health, you should be under the care of a doctor. If that is not feasible, you can purchase oral iron supplements and multivitamins from a pharmacy and take those regularly, with meal. You may talk to the pharmacist. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
