F.Y.I. : Has anyone researched the effect Chorophyll tablets (you can buy OTC) has on red cell production. It increases the red cell count, and, does not have the uncomfortable side effects like Iron has on the body. What about "epo" injections, which the hospital gave my husband prior to his open heart surgery, to cause a production of red cells to counter act anemia prior to surgery. These are just a couple of options we have used, instead of iron infusions or blood transfusions.
I have been anemic all my life have had two boys and did bleed quite a bit but did not need a blood transfusion just iron pills that I never took and an still anemic and feel fine
Thank you! My husband says I'll be a brand new person! But I don't want yo oasis our or anything to happen during labor so I'll do whatever I need to do to get ready for the big day. I am 30 weeks and I can't believe at 37 weeks I'll be full term! Crazy it's gone by so fast
Sounds scary :/ my grandma had severe anemia and she would tell me all that stuff they had to do for her too.. I had anemia but not nearly as bad as that :( it will make you feel better though after the iron infusion.. I hope the best for you :)
