Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

I think it was packed cells only I am not sure. it was in packet of 450 ml. while injecting the blood was clotting and  stopping  every now and then ,nurse had to little warm that packet and inject again.
