Although iron is found in many foods, it is difficult to absorb, making it difficult for your body to get enough to meet its needs during pregnancy. If you do not have enough iron in your diet, you make red blood cells less, which is called anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is very common and easy to correct.
Your body also needs nutrients called folate to make blood cells healthy. Folate is easily absorbed and is found in most green vegetables.
Often, women with anemia do not have specific symptoms. If anemia is severe, you may feel tired and weak.
