How did anemia affect your guys’s pregnancies??

Question

I got diagnosed as anemic when I was 14 but now I am 19 & 7 months pregnant w my first baby & shes measuring small which my dr says is due probably to me being anemic but I’ve been taking iron 3x a day and somehow every time they test me my iron is still super low I don’t know how thats possible ..Im just hoping this won’t negatively affect my daughter

Answer

Drink some orange juice (or anything with vitamin c) with your iron. It'll help it absorb into your system.

Answer

You still should have a good iron based diet while taking the iron supplements. I’ve always been low on iron as well. But when I took it serious and ate green and meat just about every day with the supplements it went up. I’m low on iron now again at 8 months pregnant and should be fine bc I’m back to eating a lot more greens as well as the supplements.

Answer

People without anemia can get it during pregnancy. It is a vitamin the baby takes a lot of from your body.
