3rd out of 10 iron appointments gotta get my hemoglobin up before delivery for baby girl! anyone else have iron problems, thalassemia, anemia, etc?

Question

Answer

Dang. What's your hemoglobin level?

I became anemic when I got pregnant. I've been taking iron twice a day, and my hemoglobin is still the same. 😭 It is 10.5. I hope to God I don't need a blood transfusion after delivery.

Answer

I have to have iron infusions monthly now that I'm pregnant. When I'm not pregnant, I get them every 3 months. It's horrible but it's something I'll have to do the rest if my life!
