28 week midwife appointment

got my results back from my blood test from my 28 week midwife appointment and I'm severely anaemic yet my bloods were fine at all my other blood tests through out my pregnancy. Any mummy's who have had this know what my midwife is going to do or say when I go for a consultation?

I had this with my first pregnancy and it didn't pop up until a little later in my pregnancy...I want to say around 29-30 weeks. All they did was put me on several extra iron supplements per day and then do extra blood work the rest of my pregnancy to make sure my levels stayed up.  You'll be fine!
