Anemic while pregnant ?

Question

Should I be worried?

Answer

Making sure you get enough protein is good too. Doesn't necessarily have to be from meat (because it tends to not settle well with a lot of pregnant women.) Yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, peanut butter....stuff like that. I have to get blood work done on my next visit and my doc told me that those are things that will help me get the best results. She said that the baby is pretty much nothing but protein right now, so it will pull everything it needs, making us low in iron, protein, calcium...you name, just to get what he/she needs.

Answer

I am extremely anemic with this pregnancy.  I take a supplement everyday and increase eating foods with iron and I am fine.  I was anemic with my daughter too and everything with her turned out perfect.

Answer

I got anemic with my first child when i was about 24 weeks. The midwife just insisted on folic acid everyday and try eating foods with lots of iron. She just kept an eye on me and me and baby were absolutely fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much xx
