Pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia are advised to consume more foods rich in iron and protein, such as eggs, soy products, fish, poultry liver, kidneys, blood, kiwifruit, kelp, laver, lean meat, and beef. They should also eat more fresh fruits to promote iron absorption, and it is recommended to use iron cookware for cooking. Adequate rest is important, along with moderate exercise to enhance immune function.
