During pregnancy, the need for iron is greater because the needs of the mother and the developing baby, the placenta and increasing hemoglobin mass must be met, especially in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. In nursing mothers, the increased demand is related to the need to cover iron losses with the secreted milk.
