Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic I have gone through your question and I understood your problem. Causes of iron deficiency in pregnancy are as follows 1.Inadequate diet intake 2. Iron loss due heavy menstrual bleeding 3.Previous pregnancy 4.Poor absorption- only 10% is absorbed normally. 5.Continuous loss of blood in conditions like hookworm infection or malaria.I will suggest you to consult with your obstetrician. Thank you.
