 No matter how much we feed on foods with high iron content, iron absorption from the intestines is limited and it is not possible to accelerate this absorption process. Absorption from the intestines is limited and slow, and a certain time period is needed. Therefore, it is not possible to replenish the iron stores in the body instantly and quickly by using iron pills. With iron drugs given intravenously, it is possible if there is an urgent need, but it is used in very mandatory situations due to its side effects and problems. For this reason, it is best not to start pregnancy with iron storage deficiency. 

 Iron is important for the development and function of healthy blood cells and some other cells. It is necessary in the construction of hemoglobin found in blood cells, and one of the main functions of hemoglobin is to carry oxygen to cells and tissues. 

 Although the baby definitely gets his own iron needs from the pregnant woman and sees her need, but if the iron store is not full enough, the development of anemia due to iron deficiency in the pregnant affects the mother. If this condition is detected during pregnancy, it can be treated, but sometimes more complex treatment methods may have to be used as it takes time and continues during pregnancy. 

 Foods such as meat, eggs, green leafy vegetables, kidney, liver, molasses, dried legumes, which contain high levels of iron, are the main sources. However, eating these foods disproportionately does not help to solve the problem and is unnecessary. It is enough just to keep these foods in the eating habits and to take them in a balanced way. 

 If there is a suspicion of anemia, then this can be revealed with the necessary tests. If the blood count is done at 22-24 weeks of pregnancy and the hemoglobin is above 11 g, the probability of developing pregnancy-specific iron deficiency anemia is very low. If it is under 11, then perhaps iron pills can be started as a precaution, once a day. If it is below 10 g, then the situation should be detailed with additional examinations.
