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…

How did the test go ! What flavor did you get soo curious I am taking mine next week and I am nervous but also prepared I think I will be good and baby will be good just want some more info
