Venofer Iron Infusions?

Question

My iron is low and I start IV Iron infusion this Friday. I'm 35 weeks on Thursday and extremely nervous. Has anyone had these treatments before? If so, how did it go and what should I expect?

Answer

I found out recently that I'm extremely low in iron. They told me to increase my meat consumption. But with the naseua it's been pretty hard to eat anything. I'm just curious if any of you know at what point they would opt to do infusions? Is it something I should ask about or just wait and see if they think I need it. I'm only 10 weeks. If that makes a difference.

Answer

I did 10 treatments when I was pregnant. I liked it better than taking iron orally cause it doesn't leave you feeling sick after.

Answer

They just start and iv site run some saline then the iron infusion which is dark brown. It is about 110 ml and will take about an hour to run. Never seen anyone have a bad reaction to it but also we don't do pregnancies on our floor
