Low iron affects on baby????

Question

So I had a D&C last June and lost a lot of blood which resulted in me having low iron. I'm pregnant again and 16 weeks today. Had lab work done yesterday and it's at 38, an infusion is recommended for anything below 60. I asked the nurse 3x if the low iron could hurt the baby and she said no, it'll just make me feel awful. I have the option to continue to try to raise it through iron supplements and diet or an infusion.

Just super nervous that it can affect the baby.

Answer

Hey hun I wouldn't worry too much about baby, really you have to remember that the reason your iron is low is because little baby is taking everything from you so its leaving you depleted. Hope it gets better soon and you can get it higher x

Answer

Get the infusion, it's amazing.. The thing is that your body might not hold it if you try to supplement, that's what happened to me, I drastically changed my diet and was taking suppliants and was still Sooooo low.. I had the transfusion, took 15 mins and it's the best thing ever, I asked the nurse if I can have them all the time!
