Dr. Liu Feng
At 8 months of pregnancy, individuals with iron-deficiency anemia should consume more foods rich in iron and high in protein. Foods such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, milk, soy products, mushrooms, black fungus (wood ear), and beef can help improve iron-deficiency anemia caused by nutritional deficiencies. In addition to iron supplementation, adequate intake of vitamin C is also very important for pregnant women with anemia, as it enhances iron absorption. Folic acid is another essential nutrient necessary for blood production.
