Referred to a hematologist for anemia?

Question

So at my glucose screening (which came back fine! 🙏🏻) they found out that I was anemic. I’ve only ever been anemic when I had my first baby 16 years ago, which I was told is normal after delivery. Now I’m anemic again. My hemoglobin dropped from an 11 in February to an 8 now 😣 they referred me to a hematologist! I’m scared. Anyone else have this happen?!

Answer

You'll be ok. They might give you iron ivs... it's not too scary, they just want you and baby to be healthy😁. I used to work for a hematologist and it was pretty normal to see pregnant ladies getting iron infusions

Answer

Mine was super low, like 9 or something at like 22 weeks, my doctor put me on iron supplements and checked my levels around 26 weeks because I was getting dizzy. My iron didn’t budge at all after a month of iron pills so now I’m having iron through an IV once a week for 4 weeks. I have completed 2 of 4 so far so I imagine they will check my levels again when I’m done

Answer

I was literally just about to ask a question similar to this I had my glucose draw and my dr found out i was anemic my levels are a 5 and my dr said i will have to start iron infusions i am waiting to get the Alta and now am taking pills till then, I was so worried when he told me because I didn’t know I don’t feel overly exhausted so I didn’t even consider having anemia! Xx good luck to you mama

Answer

Same situation but you’re levels are extremely low mine are not as low. That’s most likely why they referred you. I’m sure everything will be fine they’ll probably just dose up your iron and make you eat more iron fortified foods🤗
