Iron results. I haven’t been feeling good lighted headed and feeling I’m going to pass out by just standing for 20 mins so I told my doctors and got blood work done and this is my results are they ok?

Question

Answer

I would just call your doctors office and ask if you should be supplementing. During pregnancy lab results read a little different than when not pregnant so what is normally out of range can be normal

Answer

9 is not low enough for a transfusion, but they will want to start you on a supplement. I take iron gummies with my prenatal gummies, because i hate swallowing pills.

Answer

I think for the top number its normally supposed to be at 12 not 9. So youre a little low but i wouldnt worry at all, my iron levels stay around 7 (7 is when they do transfusions) even when not pregnant.  Anemia does make life harder but just take an iron supplement with some vitamin c to help your body absorb it. And when you take it stay away from calcium a few hours before and after as that inhibits absorption

Answer

I’ve struggled with low iron my last pregnancy and this is on track to be the same. I would check in with my dr and see what he would advise for you based on your typical levels. Iron supplements are most likely what they will tell you to do. I had other issues with my blood count and not just iron so with my last pregnancy we had to iron infusions. Felt so much better after those.

Answer

I’d assume everything should be in the green but ask your dr

Take an iron supplement
