Did anyone feel worse after an iron infusion?

Question

I had mine two days ago and don’t feel myself.
Incredibly lethargic, not just mentally but physically, like I have noodles for limbs.
Struggling even more to get comfortable and have general stomach discomfort.
I thought maybe I was dehydrated so been drinking more water but I feel worse. Is my body gearing up for labour or is this normal for the first couple days?
Or should it be a cause for concern and I call the midwife? 37+1 today.

Answer

Talk to your doctor. I had a severe allergic reaction to mine

Answer

Had 2 treatments have no energy and headache all day after I was done with them

Answer

I’ve had five iron transfusions and never felt like that. I’d call to ask them but it could also be coincidental timing. I will say that if I don’t drink a lot of water after, I feel like crap. Maybe try increasing it even more and see how you feel! But a call doesn’t hurt.

Answer

I should mention that I had vsg surgery.  Was 249 lbs lowest weight 104.  Now 9 months pregnant I'm 156. So doing good on the weight.

Answer

I get these on the regular. Now that I'm close to delivery. Iron has been in the 9's.  The first one mad me sick the next one I felt like a new person.  By the 3rd I was cleaning like a mad lady. Lol. I figure it is nesting. I feel amazing.  Just had my 3rd one. On Friday.
