Amira Aly describes poor blood values during pregnancy

Which values are affected

The consequence is clear for Aly: dietary supplements should compensate for the missing nutrients. „Das heißt supplementieren, und das nicht zu knapp", she said. Especially during pregnancy, these values are crucial: „Es fehlt mir wirklich alles, was aber auch superwichtig ist für die Entwicklung (des Kindes). Das heißt supplementieren und das nicht zu knapp."

She has now reached the „Halbzeit" of her pregnancy, as Aly revealed on Instagram in June. Aly already has two sons and is expecting her third child. One encouraging partial result: her glucose test, the screening for gestational diabetes, came back unremarkable. „Ach ja, ich war ja bei dem Zuckertest", she noted, without expressing further concerns.

The moderator regularly shares her pregnancy on social media with her followers. By publishing her blood values, she provided insight into a less shining aspect of what is otherwise described as a joyful time.

Background: Iron requirements during pregnancy

Medically, a ferritin level of 8.5 indicates a significantly depleted iron storage reserve. During pregnancy, iron requirements increase considerably, which is why such a finding should be medically supervised.

Looking ahead to the coming weeks, Aly announced she would consistently implement the intake of supplements. She will continue to monitor her values and seek medical advice, according to her statements.

According to Aly, the response among her fans has been marked by support. Many followers have shared similar experiences and encouraged her to openly disclose the deficiencies.
