Ferritin during pregnancy

During pregnancy, a woman's iron requirement significantly increases due to the need for iron in fetal development and the expansion of maternal blood volume. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, and monitoring its levels provides information about the adequacy of iron intake. Iron deficiency during pregnancy can occur, especially if a woman does not get enough iron from her diet or if she experiences heavy menstrual bleeding before pregnancy.

It is important for pregnant women to regularly monitor their ferritin levels as per medical guidance. If ferritin levels drop too low, doctors may recommend iron supplementation. A balanced diet rich in easily absorbable forms of iron and vitamin C can also help maintain adequate ferritin levels during pregnancy.
