Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Ping
Iron deficiency anemia during the second trimester of pregnancy can generally lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and adverse effects on the fetus. Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women poses significant risks to both the mother and the developing fetus, and therefore requires prompt treatment. It is recommended to consume more iron-rich foods such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, eggs, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, to timely replenish the body's required iron.
