Just wanted to post in case some other mommas may be experiencing the same.

Ever since the third trimester hit, I’ve been exhausted. Like, needed a nap every day. I assumed it was because I have a 13 month old that is quite busy. Then Sunday, I had a bout of dizziness followed by tunnel vision/ears ringing. I nearly passed out. I felt so weak.

The nurse hotline told me to go in. They checked all of my vitals and blood work and baby. Turns out I was anemic (had low iron). My finger nails were blue. All they had to do was putting me on an iron supplement but it was quite scary at first.

If you’re feeling way more tired than you think you should be, your fingernails are blueish purple, and the skin inside your eyes is white, get your iron checked! 🖤
