Difference of opinions?

Question

So my ob practice has 2 doctors. I absolutely love them both they’re sweet and they actually take the time with everyone. BUT my last appointment one of the docs said my blood work was fine I was slightly anemic but didn’t need to do anything. Today my other doctor (my favorite one) told me that I need to start taking iron pills for it. She said it’ll make me feel better and help balance my levels out but I find it weird that they told me different things. Anyone else have this happen before?

Answer

Doctors have differences of opinions a lot even in the same practice. Taking iron wont hurt and if she thinks itd help I'd listen to her especially as you said, she's your favorite. 
I havent experienced it with anemia but did get differing opinions on caffiene from different doctors at their office.

Answer

My iron was so low one time they didn’t know how I was still functioning. I was passing out several times a week. I was out on iron pills and it eventually evened out. Red meat will help ALOT!!

Answer

Totally normal. My OB said my numbers were borderline and I could take it or not. He also said it would make me feel better and would help in building up the storage of iron. 
No harm in taking them. Iron deficiency is very common in the third trimester
