Hi mam, i already took through IV during 2 to 3rd month of pregnency

Accepted Answer

It will not cause much of an issue but if the hemoglobin is infact less then instead of taking twice a Day you can instead take iv iron medications which is better

Accepted Answer

Mam how can I tell you that it is high or not because previously what you were taking is generally a decent amount of medicine to be taken but since your blood levels are low and maybe that is why your other gynaecologist has suggested to do it so you can go ahead with the doctor and please this is the personal advice to you just take advice from the doctor with whom you are going to go ahead with your pregnancy don’t keep on changing the doctor otherwise it is going to be trouble for you
