Late in pregnancy anemia!

Brittany

I’m 30 weeks and just found out that I’m anemic. It’s not a total surprise because I’m a lifelong vegetarian but I’ve always eaten a very balanced diet and never struggled with anemia. I have a 2.5 year old as well and did not have this problem with him.

I’ve heard it can take up to a month for iron pills to start to make an impact and reverse the anemia. How likely is it that I’ll need a blood transfusion? Sounds scary!
