  • Title: Iron requirements of pregnancy.
    Author: Vogt C.
    Journal: NAACOGS Clin Issu Perinat Womens Health Nurs; 1991; 2(3):364-7. PubMed ID: 1931383.
    Abstract:
    To maintain the necessary maternal iron stores, the pregnant patient needs to receive iron supplements during the last half of pregnancy. These needs are particularly great during the last trimester, increasing from the usual requirement of 3-4 mg/day to 5-6 mg/day. Dietary and oral supplementation therapies are the most efficient methods of supplementing iron in normal pregnant women and those experiencing iron deficiency.
