Normal serum ferritin levels during pregnancy

Serum ferritin is an important reference indicator for judging whether the body is healthy. Especially for pregnant women, whether the serum ferritin index is normal is more related to whether they can achieve eugenics and good upbringing. If this indicator is abnormal, it may affect the health of the fetus, such as causing anemia in pregnant women. Therefore, it is very necessary to test serum ferritin during pregnancy to determine whether its value is within the normal range.

Generally speaking, the normal value of serum ferritin for pregnant women is 35-55ug/L. It is slightly higher than usual. The increase in serum protein plays an important role in the rapid development of the fetus. The pregnant woman's demand for iron also increases accordingly. If the intake is insufficient for a long time, pregnant women will suffer from anemia. If serum ferritin is low during pregnancy, you can take iron supplements. Because iron supplements may cause gastrointestinal reactions, it is best to take them half an hour after a meal to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms.

In addition, if the iron intake from the diet during pregnancy is insufficient, and the body consumes iron too quickly, ferritin will also be consumed quickly. Therefore, during pregnancy, many pregnant women will experience anemia. If they already have anemia, the anemia will worsen after conception. Therefore, we must pay attention to a reasonable diet to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.

Furthermore, during pregnancy, you should eat more fresh and nutritious fruits, such as oranges, etc., which can increase the body's absorption and utilization of iron.
