Low iron/aneamia

Rachel

Has anyone been told their iron levels are low? Just wondering what you're doing about it and if you're concerned. Was told around 30 weeks levels were low, tried to increase levels through iron rich foods (after midwife advise), told 2 weeks later to go on iron tablets. Bloods from 36 week check show my levels have dropped further even though I'm on iron tablets. Have to double up the dosage and hope that helps but wondering what advice anyone else has been given. Just a little concerned about blood loss during and after birth, and of course it'd be great to not feel exhausted all the time! I'm 38 weeks on Tuesday so baby could show up at any point.
