I was anemic during pg too. the ferretin measures how much iron is stored and comes with a bunch of other symptoms that I have been experiencing but couldn't figure out why.
I have been anemic periodically (every few years) and both with last pregnancy and now during this pregnancy. I know it right away because I start craving ice and ice chips and am super tired. Having been through this a bunch of times now, I find that Ferro Sequel supplements are the gentlest on the GI tract (in terms of not causing constipation) Slow Fe are OK, but not as good.
Re: Yeah I am anemic!!
I just found out I am anemic as well. I'm hoping its just a pregnancy thing and I will return to my normal self after this baby is born.
I'm taking an iron supplement to help. I haven't really noticed a difference yet, but I've only been on them for a few days.
