Kind of just a rant about anemia.

Taking iron supplements over the counter and trying to put spinach in every meal is exhausting. My dr will not do anything about my anemia as it’s “normal to get anemia in pregnancy” except it’s been so bad even with what I’m doing to take care of it that I’m borderline needing a blood transfusion on labs. If it drops below 8g/dl I will need one.

I am currently sitting between 8.5-8.7 while trying to take care of it at home.

Super frustrated. Not even sure what he could do besides prescribe some stronger iron pills or what., but I definitely feel like at this point it should be looked into more. Especially with all the fainting I’ve been doing and the fact that my bp sits at about 90/50-100/60.
