Moreover, during pregnancy, the need for iron is greater than usual, and pregnant women need more iron to synthesize hemoglobin to replenish the extra blood volume, as well as the baby and placenta.
However, most pregnant women do not store enough iron to meet the body's iron needs in the early stages of pregnancy.

Pregnant women should eat more foods containing folic acid in their daily lives, and pay attention to dietary hygiene in daily life.
