Pregnancy related blood loss
Women at higher risk of developing iron deficiency through #pregnancy and #labour are:
- #miscarriage followed by quick subsequent pregnancy
- #antepartum or #postpartum #haemorrhage
- 2 pregnancies within 3 years
- 3 pregnancies within 5 years
The #brainfog, #hairloss and #lowmood can all be signs of iron deficiency.
