Anaemia
This is a constant worry when you are pregnant.
Usually it is checked several times during the 9 months. It would be important that the levels are correct before you reach 36 weeks gestation as this is the time the baby really starts building up its own reserves.
I hear quite often from mums to be don’t like taking the artificial iron replacement treatment. There are some mothers who suffer terribly with side effects from the conventional treatment. So I would like to share a recipe which a colleague shared with me some time ago. She was given it from a Latvian grandmother.
IRON JAM
Chop or mass together (you can use a food processor) equal amounts of
Walnuts, figs, honey, apricots and cranberries. Eat as a jam spread.
This combination is high in iron, high in vitamin C so will counteract constipation .
What ever it does, it can only do you good…enjoy 🍯
