One of the absolute best ways to cure anemia during pregnancy is with jucing. Curing iron anemia in pregnancy with fresh vegetable juice is an ultra healthy way to address a common pregnancy problem. Juicing will give you amazingly fast results! Juicing works quick and is a great way to get needed pure, natural, raw vitamins and minerals in your pregnancy diet.
If you are juicing to raise iron levels you should consume fresh juice daily or at least every other day. Don’t start off drinking gallons of the stuff…..start off with a small 6 or 8 oz. glass. If your trying to build hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, remember that hemoglobin and hematocrit levels do not jump up overnight. It will take weeks to optimize your levels. For maintaining levels, consume lots of green foods and juice about 3 times a week or more. Juicing is excellent for pregnant and nursing mothers!
- organic fresh carrots (about 5 medium size)
- half of a cucumber (skin can be juiced if cucumber is organic—peel skin off if not organic)
- 1/2 to whole apple (skin can be juiced if organic…peel if not organic)
- several handfuls of fresh baby or regular spinach
- parsley
- a big red beet is beneficial to adding iron rich minerals to your diet.
You may add other dark green vegetables if you desire. Experiment with different apples to produce different tastes. I prefer Fuji apples for juicing for their sweetness.
Clean your vegetables before juicing.
Some people strain their juice but I prefer not straining the juice to retain some of the fiber. Strained juice can sometimes affect the stomach and bowels. To prevent this—keep the fiber in the juice.

Some people strain their juice but I prefer not straining the juice. You should keep at least some of the pulp in your juice because it is excellent fiber and easier on your digestive system! Strained juice can sometimes affect the stomach and bowels. To prevent this—keep the fiber in the juice.
Ask your midwife for juicing suggestions.
