Very anemic at 38 weeks

Hayley • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 💛💜💙 {baby 4 due in May}

Ugh. I need to vent. After several months of monitoring my iron and taking supplements, my latest H&H is still super LOW, going down, meaning I’m very anemic. Low enough that right now I can’t give birth at the birth center I’ve been going to, I’d need to transfer to the hospital. I’m going in tomorrow for labs to make sure it’s for sure an iron issue (or more like an iron absorption issue) and if so go in for iron infusions.

I HOPEFULLY have 2 weeks left to get my iron up that way, not only so I can give birth where I want to, but more importantly for the safety of me and my baby. Now I’m just praying I don’t go into labor, like, tonight. Even though I also just want my baby here. 😞

Ok, rant over. Deep breath.
