Experiences having an IV iron infusion whilst pregnant? Did it help / only need to have it once? What’s it like??
I may need one due to my iron levels dramatically dropping & I’m only 26 weeks. Absolutely bloody hate IV’s, needles, all things hospital tbh🤣

They tried to give me after birth as I lost a lot of blood in labour which made my iron levels drop massively. Unfortunately my body rejected it felt rubbish while on it so they had to take me off it just 5 mins after getting on the drip. Had to get a blood transfusion instead which seemed to do it for me. I’m 2 weeks post partum now and my levels are back on track, I’m also having iron tablets everyday. Hope it works for you xx
