A. Usually only 1 point improvement will come after a single whole blood transfusion is done. Did you have packed cells? It will not have any effect on your baby don’t worry

A. hi mam ,it takes around 1 or 2 months to reflect it in body. but mam , type of delivery depends on many factors like baby size, baby position, amunuitic fluid amount etc too so please don't take much stress for this. take necessary follow ups from your gynecologist strictly do as per his/her suggestions
