Your hemoglobin (Hb) level for a normal woman is also very low, let alone for a pregnant woman. These injections are very important to you. If you dont want to take them, then the only alternative is to get a blood transfusion. If not, then please cope with it if you want a healthy baby.
You've long worked hours, so you need to be extra careful. As for your stomach aches, you could take pantoprazole tablets on an empty stomach as and when required. Also, are you feeling feverish or do you usually get a fever? If you're getting a fever, then you must see a doctor and get it examined. And yes, you can use Vasmol hair oil.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Rakesh Sharma
