I was so anemic during my last pregnancy. Very anemic with this one already. (10wks)
I am at about a 9 on my levels.
You'll be fine. Last pregnancy I always forgot to takey iron pills. Maybe only took them a handful of times.
My daughter came out healthy.
Though for your sake, I would take them.
Anemia is no joke.
If you can't stand to take iron, eat iron-rich foods. But if you don't mind your iron supplements, begin to take them now. You will need the iron when you are breast-feeding, and you can use it now also.
My iron level is 10.6 should be 11.1
