Hey, all!

I am a little over 38 weeks! I will be going in on the 22nd for an induction (thanks to preeclampsia signs).

Anyway, beginning of August I was told I was very anemic. I was also severely anemic with my first. Anyway, they had me take 2 iron pills a day with vitamin C. Also been eating foods high in iron. We just checked my iron again on Tuesday and it’s at 9.3 which is low. I’m nervous now for birth. Of course I googled this morning and nothing great showed up. Higher risk or death during labor/after labor or even cancer. Obviously those are both extremes, but ya know!

If you’ve been in this position before, was there a fast way to up your iron levels before birth? Do you think I’ll still be induced? Doctors office doesn’t open for another hour, but I’ll definitely be calling to ask for info.

Because I’m excited, Here’s a cute little pic of my almost 3 year old. Here’s to being a crazy boy mama 💙💙💙

Thank you!
