Does Taking Iron Tablets Affect A Baby's Complexion?
Hi doc, taking iron tablets regularly during the first 3 months of pregnency, will this affect the baby's complection? eating raw rice will this really affect hemoglobin? when i checked it was 8 and i have been eating raw rice for quiet a long time...
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
hemoglobin concentration can be increased by iron intake. but raw rice does not have any relation or does not increases hemoglobin. so stop eating raw rice you can eat cooked rice.
also taking iron tablet will not effect the baby complexion. the color of the baby is decided by the baby genes that it gets from the father and mother.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
