Anemic?

Question

Anyone else anemic in pregnancy? What did you doctor have you do, iron supplement?

Answer

I'm gemerally anemic, but during my first pregnancy my levels dropped even more. My Dr. didn't do anything about it other than monitor my levels - if they had dropped any lower he would've admitted me for a blood transfusion. I'm pretty sure it depends on the reason for the anemia though... my iron levels were ok so there was no reason to supplement (in my case the anemia is genetic). If your iron levels are low you'll have to supplement.

Answer

I take extra liquid iron every day. It absorbs better.

Answer

I’m on SlowFe, which is like an extended release so it’s supposed to cause less stomach issues. I’ve been on it a week and feel better in general.

Answer

I take iron in oral spray/liquid form. I’ve been able to avoid constipation that way as I’m really sensitive to any form of iron pills.
