Just a minute Radha!I am soaking pulses, so I can make you delcious curry when we get back. Pulses are rich in iron,which helps in growth and developement of the body.It would also help in gaining energy.
Let's Go MA! We're already pretty late for the appointment
I think he just wants my body sufficient iron. so that the baby can be born health, Nowadays it has become very important to take iron suoolemnets because only if the future generation is heing brought in the world with healthy blood. then only the society willy be able to grow and flourish, with fresh and young minds out there
I still dont understand why DR Raj is so persistent in giving you iron rich supplements, when we can eat food rich in iron itself! It's much healthier for the body.
Hello radha, how have you been feeling this week? Any vomiting or symptoms of nausea?
No doctor. I am feeling perfectly fine.
Hi Doctor, I am Maya, Radha's mother in law. Last week, when she came back from her appointment, I cheked the prescribed medicines, and found out that there are iron supplements. I don't want radha to take too many medicines especially the one she can consume by eating iron rich food.Iron supplements may cause nausea, vomiting, constipation, and i don't want to risk radha's or the baby's health in any way.
Hi Maya ji.I totally understand your concer, but giving her iron supplements is necesarry, because if not, she can go through serious dises like anamia , which is not health for her pregnancy
Yes Radha, looks like you've done your research.During pregnancy, a women needs double the amount of blood compared to the normal rate, and iron is the mineral which helps in making the blood fast, so that the food and oxygen is delived to the baby easily.Iron supplements are the best when it comes to providing iron directly to the body
He is right Ma, I've read about anamia. If i go through that disease, then there is a very high chance of me going through premture birth.That is why I have to take the medicines
Iron rich food no doubt contain iron and other nutrients, but because of it, the body finds it hard to absorb the iron from the food.It has to work on digesting the whole food,and only limited amount of iron is present in food.
That is why I am saying, that we can deliver it in her body, using iron rich food.Along with iron, they would also give radha other nutrients,and she can eat healthy and stay fit.She already has too much medicines to take.
