Ferritin Level Low
Hi girls, I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. My midwife has just emailed following my booking appt on 6th Sep to tell me my Ferritin level is low. Has anyone else been told this and what is the best way to increase it?
Thank you 🫶🏻
Lots of green veg & vitamin C can help absorb Iron. Be careful with having too much tea & coffee as this can also prevent iron absorption. I have had low ferritin & anaemia lots of the years due to heavy periods - it’s not fun! But hopefully you will be prescribed ferrous fumarate which will help a lot 🙏🏻
