Alhamdulillah, so happy to hear baby is doing well and the cyst has faded, hopefully it clears completely after delivery, insya-Allah. Regarding the low HB and ferritin, please don't worry too much as iron deficiency in pregnancy is actually quite common here in Malaysia, and it is good that your doctor has already changed your supplement. From what I understand, our body needs to produce almost 50% more blood during pregnancy, so the iron demand is really high, ferritin at 7 when it should be around 30 does explain why you might be feeling more tired or breathless than usual, so do rest as much as you can. Some mums I know did well once their iron supplement was adjusted, though a few mentioned certain supplements caused some stomach discomfort, so do let your doctor know if you feel anything off. Since this touches on both HB and ferritin levels specifically, it may also be worth asking your doctor whether a referral to a specialist would be helpful, just to monitor things more closely before delivery, better to be thorough, sayang. Wishing you and baby girl (or boy!) all the best for the remaining weeks!
