Hello doctor,
My wife is 24 weeks pregnant. I am having doubts regarding her daily diet during pregnancy. She is taking one banana early morning, coconut water daily once and milk thrice a day. My doubt is, is it safe to take banana and coconut when pregnant? And is it safe to take milk thrice a day? Four months back, her hemoglobin test was done in the laboratory and in the report 8 is noted. What are the precautions to be taken to increase the hemoglobin?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read and understood your problem.
If her blood pressure is normal, then there is no harm in taking one banana and coconut water once daily and milk thrice a day. Diet during pregnancy must contain green leafy vegetables in it. Her hemoglobin is low, she should take Iron and Folic acid tablets. Only food will not increase her hemoglobin. Also, do her TSH test, sometimes thyroid problem also causes low hemoglobin.
