A bit of reassurance needed :(
Hello 👋🏻
I’m 20 weeks pregnant with dcda twins
And have been requested to go for my gtt blood test earlier than originally booked (next week) due to glucose levels within my wee sample
And despite taking the pregnacare max which has iron supplements and eating pretty well (iron rich foods) my bloods have come back low in iron and ferritin so I need to take addition iron and vitamin c tablets
(Which explains why I’m exhausted by 1pm and struggling to work/entertain the kids after school and keep my eyes open)
Should I worry? Or is this pretty normal?
It’s so hard not to compare to my previous pregnancy experiences but they were singletons so I know I should…
They are currently measuring 357g and 329g at 20 weeks and they see happy (no kicks or movement felt yet)
Thank you đź’™

I have didi twins and I didn’t feel them until closer to like 25 weeks… in terms of iron and your glucose levels every pregnancy is different like with my last single pregnancy I had preeclampsia so they were worried I would get it again but I’m 30 weeks now and my blood pressure is still looking good. I wouldn’t worry about anything unless they are worried… the complications you are having are very common things that happen with twin pregnancy. A good option for your iron would be to research some high iron prenatals. For example I was using the ritual prenatals and haven’t had low iron until recently
