Mixed results after GD test

JnJ_9.22.07

Looks like I passed the 1 hour glucose test, I was 119. (Doc says anything under 130 is fine)

But the tests also say I'm still a little on the anemic side, even thought I've been taking an iron supplement. WTF? Anyone else STILL anemic??

I passed my glucose with a 91 this time and I was also told about my iron being low. My midwife said to google foods with Iron and also take a supplement.

I passed with a 79, but was told my iron was low as well. Going to see my doc tomorrow to find out what next step is.  I think low iron is very common in pregnancy

Anemia in pregnancy is extremely common. If you are anemic on iron your doc will probably want you to double your dose of the iron supplement. I wouldn't stress about it - it's an easy fix to just take more iron.

i was told i was anemic too. my doc prescribed me a supplement, even though i have one in my prenatal. also told me to eat more iron rich foods (that's a problem, since i don't like many of them. haha....plus, the iron pill makes me sick, great!)

i haven't went to my appointment since they told me but am going later this week to hopefully find out more.

i got same diagnosis today, and this is second thread i've seen, so i'm feeling pretty normal! i won't be at doctor for another week and a half, but the nurse just called and told me to add an iron supplement. not happy cause it was ~ expensive, but it is what it is.
