Question

Iron levels typically decrease when a woman is pregnant. During a routine checkup the Doctor finds that a woman in her 3rd trimester has 1.40 x 10-8 g of Iron in a 1 mL sample. If the safe range of iron for women during her 3rd trimester is 0.095-0.150 ug in 1 mL sample, is there any concern?
