Anemic

Was anyone anemic pre-pregnancy?  I have an iron deficiency anemia and take iron supplements to control the dizzy spells.  I've noticed that since I've gotten my BFP, even with the iron supplements I'm having my spells again.  I'm going to ask my doctor if it's safe to increase the amount I take to help balance things out.

  • I hope it all works out for you! I don't have any advice, sorry. I think I'm one of the lucky few who wasn't/isn't anemic. My iron level pregnant is 14.

  • Yes, I was. I even had to have blood tranfusions at one point. I have noticed an increase in the dizzy spells and plan on asking my Dr. about it when I go on Tuesday. I'll keep you updated on what she says. Good luck and feel better!
