glucose test & low iron
Boy today's appointment was a doozy! I took my one hour glucose test which was MUCH easier then I thought it would be so don't be scared ladies. The drink I thought was pretty good 😳😂 no dizziness or nausea just been somewhat tired since getting home. while doing the blood draw they took another tube to check for anemia. about an hour after getting home I got the results...good news is I passed the glucose test by 6 points ! so relieved because i really thought I was going to fail. not as good news, i do have low iron. I know this is common in pregnancy so I'm trying not to worry. my prenatal doesn't have any iron (it's a gummy, I can't swallow pills). I ordered one online that has 27mg & an iron supplement that has 15mg. My OB says you're supposed to get 325mg a day that seems so high! any recommendations on foods I can eat to help? any experience with anemia in pregnancy? thanks a bunch ❤️
