Blood transfusion

I do mine 2 times a week, for an hour. Just Drink lots of water the night before and otw there & eat. Have something to snack on after as well, i was light headed my first time.

@Brianna they’re saying I may after to get it immediately after labor which is scary because I’m like wouldn’t it be better to do it before

Not sure, if its an accurate advice. I also found out i ‘m anaemic around 28 week. Taking iron supplements since then, and iron level seemed to have recover naturally. Plus take rich iron food and juices.

@Ash mine was below a 9 so i had to get an infusion. The iron supplements & iron food wasn’t helping bring it up fast enough.

@Marie I’m 30w now and I’m doing it , it depends on how low it is why they saying you can wait. You should ask for the risk if there is any.

@Ash okay I just went and got some I’m praying everything increases before he gets here

@Brianna okay I’m going to call Monday to get more information thank you

Omg I thought I was the only one. I have gotten a blood transfusion 2018 after a miscarriage they kept me in the hospital for almost two weeks. My last doctor when I was pregnant with my one year old told me I will need a blood transfusion when I have her luckily I didn’t….. but with this baby I’m pregnant with I have to do iron infusion 5 appointments I’m on my third AGAIN the first third appointment my chest caved in when the nurse only gave me 3m out of 10 they had to stop & send me to L&d bc the baby was giving me contractions. Not sure why it happened but when I went back days later for the 2nd third appointment I was fine 😩 smh I’m terrified of labor bc I don’t know how it will go. I hope I helped some how but I think you would be ok praying everything goes in your way 🫶🏾💯🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m a week after you. 29 weeks

@Rayven omg yes ! Girl I’m scared of labor now because I’m like I don’t know what to expect even if I do get my levels up in time will labor make it back down I have so many questions and worries but just trying to stay closer to God about it
