I donated blood
So im only about 5 weeks pregnant, but about a week and a half ago I donated blood with no clue I was pregnant. Did I harm my baby at all??
Yeah, sounds like youre fine. They obviously do checks, so unless you felt unwell over the ladt few days, dont think it hurt the baby.
No, you didn't hurt the baby.
I was told that my iron was higher than average when my blood was drawn. So everything is probably fine?
Not quite sure. You should perhaps get advice from your gp about your iron levels and prenatal vitamins. I'm sure if you are eating healthy the blood you've lost has been replaced by now but during pregnancy we are told to keep our iron levels as high as possible so ensure you eat loads of greens and if need be iron tablets.
