[|Human|] Hi, i am a 22 year old pregnant female. I received a phone call from my doctor telling me that my RBC count has dropped from a 36 to a 24,,,he wants me to get a stat blood work done to make sure that the lab didnt do the test wrong.... what does this mean for me or my baby?
[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern.  Low blood count in pregnancy needs to be treated well to avoid untoward effects on pregnancy, It consists of- - Oral iron, folic acid, B12, vitamin C with high protein diet (meat, eggs, diary products) - Injectable Iron (IM/ IV)may be needed in case of sever iron deficiency anemia.  - Blood transfusion with cross-matched blood of same group is indicated in sever anemia.  * A sudden Chat Doctor.  It indicates some form of hidden blood loss / lack of blood formation in body. Here treatment of anemia is as important as the control of bleeding is. That is why doctor has ordered for repeat blood count.  Thanks.
