Anemia for mommy? - updated
So H thinks I should be tested for anemia ...I got really dizzy in the car on the ride to work, so I just didn't around a lot (dangerous in traffic, I know) ...
What are the signs of anemia? I looked on google and its a bunch of different things.
Being tested, is it just a simple blood draw?
Update - got in to doctor this morning (yay, she rocks!) its not anemia ....the "rock" in my ears aren't where they should be and its causing a type of vertigo. ugh. ...telling my H he says, " I always knew there were rocks in your head" ..haha, nice, thanks H. So she gave me some meds to take and strict orders to go straight home, I shouldn't be driving.

It couldn't hurt to get tested. It's just a blood test. I found out that I'm anemic & have low iron reserves, so I have to take elemental iron with vitamin C - away from dairy/calcium.
I hope you feel better, no matter what's going on Cass.
Looking at past blood tests from when I was pregnant with LO, and my levels were just below normal ...blah ...why didn't they test it again?
I guess I really should just go to my Dr. annually -- other than the Gyno.
I took a zofran I had left over for the m/s with LO, I'm hoping that helps, cause its going to be a looooong day if it doesn't.
Thanks sofa!
