Anemia

So my results from the glucose test were good (that’s positive) but It looks like I have anemia. Someone in the same situation? Waiting to see what my doctor says, but any tips would be appreciated.

They'll prescribe you iron supplements. I ended up going to the hospital 2 weeks ago bc I felt off and I found out I had anemia there. Its getting better w the iron. Super common so don't sweat it

I had anemia with my first and had to do iron infusions. I’m assuming it’ll be the same for this pregnancy.

Yay for passing the glucose test! Do you mind sharing what your levels were for anemia? It looks like my iron is pretty low as well but my doctor isn’t planning to treat it - just curious!

They told me I have it to but I’m just a little confused because my iron is way above normal almost at 400

Same. Mine was super super low which makes sense why i was crashing after being awake for only a few hours…

I am taking an iron supplement + vitamin C and avoiding milk 2hours before and after.

The iron supplement my midwife recommended is MegaFood Iron Blood Builder. It has a bunch of other vitamins vital for healthy blood apparently.

I was also told I need IV Iron infusions but im still waiting on my insurance to approve it…

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
