Anemia

[Candy_T]

Has anyone been told they became anemic since being pregnant?  The nurse called me a couple of days ago and told me the news.  I was for sure, she had the wrong person but I guess it's common.

Thank you ladies....y'all put my mind at ease tremendously.

I've had it with all my pregnancies. Nothing to worry about just take the extra iron. If it makes you sick try taking it with orange juice. The orange juice helps absorb it faster. I also eat some toast when I take it.

Doctor said it should go away shortly after pregnancy because the baby steals all the nutrientsfrom the mother.

Ive had it since my 2nd trimester. I'm 37 weeks now and I've been taking iron supplements since then. They found out because I have low blood pressure and couldnt draw any blood from me lol
But my baby seems healthy. Normal size and everything.

I had it with my first pregnancy... It's nothing to worry about as long as you keep taking your iron <3

Are you taking iron pills?  Thanks for your response.

Yeah I was fine till my third trimester.. then my hg and hct dropped very low so now I am workinh on bringing that up. Its normal but something that needs to be taken care of right away otherwise complications can arise..
