[j2113]

I just got told I'm anaemic idk if should be to worried? When I got told I'm anaemic I didn't really feel like it was that bad because I actually feel like I'm good. Can any of you that are anaemic give me advice on what to do to make it better?

Im anemic and its been dropping because iv been struggling to take tablets so know im on a liquid form which will hopefully help me bring it up to normal levels. The symptoms of anemia is looking pale, feeling weak, &tired, feeling light headed. Try and eat alot of lentils, & spinch they are really rich in iron.

@mummainoz what symptoms of anemia did you have after giving birth?

[mummainoz]

I still had it for about 3mths after birth so still took the iron tablets until my dr said all good.

[j2113]

So if you get anemia while pregnant does that mean it can go away after giving birth?

My whole pregnancy nobody said I was anemic, the doctor told me after my c section that he prescribed iron pills and assumed I knew I was anemic, but I've been taking the pills and feel a lot better with them I also still take my prenatals for a little extra iron too

[j2113]

So have the pills helped you all?

Ive also been told im amenic..instead of tablets i drink spartone (an iron supplement). I cant swallow tablets to save my life!

I'm severely anaemic I have been since I was 12. I'm on iron tablets 3x daily & a multivitamin which has iron in it. Nothing to worry about unless you leave it untreated. You can get over the counter iron supplements that are safe in pregnancy that you only have to take once a day, but it's best to ask your doctor first. Eat more red meat and more veg (though I eat a lot of meat and veg and I'm still severely anaemic)

I'm anemic and need to take iron pills 3 times a day or else the oxygen levels in my blood drop so low that I'll faint. If your doctor hasn't told you go take iron pills, just eat iron rich foods like spinach and red meat. Don't take iron supplements unless you've talked to your doctor first, you can overdose on it.

Make sure you take your prenatals because your iron will be extremely low especially with the baby absorbing it so the iron in the prenatals will add more iron your dr may also put you on jus a straight iron supplement as well.
