Exhausted! Possible anaemia?

Question

So I’m 10 weeks pregnant and today I woke up with no energy, I also feel so week. I was wondering if it’s possibly lack of iron, I’m a chef and work long days so my eating habits are a bit rubbish sometimes I go to bed without any tea. I was prescribed some folic from my midwife but changed doctors and never received this I tried to ring her she didn’t answer, I text her no reply. I’m just wondering if I should be in contact with her or my drs tomorrow. Any advice is welcome. Thankyou

Answer

Definitely get a blood test if you haven’t to check your levels. Supplementing with unneeded iron isn’t the best idea in pregnancy. That way you know for sure. I have good stores but tend to be anemic pre-pregnancy so I’m taking a mini whole food iron supplement.

Answer

I think it’s a pretty normal symptom- lots of people myself included are exhausted at this point of the pregnancy. I wasn’t particularly tired until around week 10 and then all of a sudden, I was. 
You should still take folic acid and iron though, and both of those should be available in prenatal vitamins that you can find, without a prescription, at a store.
If you’ve had any blood work done, they might have already tested iron. That was on my first set of blood tests.
