During pregnancy a womanâs blood volume doubles to support and nourish the growing fetus, meaning she needs even more daily iron to meet the blood count demands. A pregnant woman needs 27 milligrams of iron per day -- 30 percent more than when she's not pregnant. If you're breastfeeding, your iron needs decrease to 9 milligrams a day.
To achieve iron balance, adult men need to absorb about 1 mg/day and adult menstruating women about 1.5 mg/day, although this is highly variable. Towards the end of pregnancy, the absorption of 4-5 mg/day is necessary. Requirements are higher during periods of rapid growth in early childhood and adolescence.
