C-sections

low hemoglobin

My question is is there any other moms that are about to have there csection that have low hemoglobin. What does your doctor say about it and what have you done to help get your levels up.

Re: low hemoglobin

  • I had low hgb at 24 wks and took iron tab once daily thru the remainder of my pregnancy. Then had bleeding during my section due to torn vessels (thanks baby!) This required a month postpartum of continuing the iron tabs. Really was no big deal, except I wish I would have agreed to a blood transfusion day 2 while I was in the hospital. A 7.3hgb was a bit low to bounce back from.
