ANEMIA

I'm about to be 19 but posting here in this age group to hear from you more experienced moms with most likely more children have any of you gone through labor with anemia how did it go did you need a blood transfusion? I'm 38w today and have a 16 month old so I got pregnant quickly and had anemia with my first too. It's gotten worse my Dr. said they want anemic pregnant woman at at least a 12 going into labor and yesterday they told me I was at a 9 and I would more than likely be needing a transfusion rite after delivery? I'm pretty nervous about gong into labor now and would like to here experiences? Ty!

I am 37 weeks. I take the iron pills. However i star
ted to drink carrots juice, beets juice and it has help a lot. Try to do it natural for at least one week. Wish u look girl. Dont be afraid you might not need blood transfusion.
