Yes take your iron I been with anaemic since I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks and I was with my son. I wish everyone the best of luck with their pregnancy
Thank you everyone for the tips and advice!
I am usually anemic even without being pregnant, but I have to take twice the iron too. I was never told that I would need a blood transfusion though! I don't know if its cause I am not planning a c-section or not but wow, yeah take those iron pills. Sounds serious.
Eat a lot of greens!! I use spinach in like everything I cook. And yes keep taking the extra iron. I have the same thing but I'm going on baby number three and never had a c-section so I can only imagine how much blood you can lose. Too much red meat is not good for anyone so try not to eat it toooo much. But greens are your best source. Kale, spinach, collard greens, etc... it's best with the veggies so you do not become constipated as well ;-)
I am too, im taking the spartone drink as its no harsh on the stomach! Ive got my last blood test on tuesday to make sure they've risen but im very nervous just in case they havent! It doesnt help that im a Vegetarian! :|
I am also 30 weeks. My iron pills are not agreeing with my stomach very well but I'm suffering through the belly ache and making sure I take them twice daily like I am supposed to. It really scares me because I've never had any surgery besides my c section with my daughter and then I didn't have any complications. I'm scared of having issues with this next one from being anemic.
I have. I have to take iron pills, I am 30 weeks.
Yes im very anemic. I've had 3 children and blood transfusions with 2 of them. TAKE YOUR IRON! Drink 100% grape juice and eat you a good steak! Medium well to well of course, lol.But really, Anemia is serious. You can become VERY weak. Again… take your iron medicine!
