I went to the Dr. yesterday and he had the results from all the blood work that was done... apparently I am almost anemic. He said that the range of iron that I should have in my blood is 32-43ish (percent, mg, I don't really know). Anyway, I was only .5 above the very minimum and the Dr. said that if I don't increase my iron level I wasn't going to like what would happen. Now, in addition to taking my prenatal vitamin and other supplements each morning I also get to take an iron supplement. Hoowah.
Maybe this is part of the reason I have been so tired and prone to headaches the past few weeks...
And guess what those iron supplements will do to your poo... not pleasant.
ReplyDeleteEww, iron supplements made me soooo sick. Like, puking my guts out. That's why I had to have IV therapy for the last couple months I was pregnant - I was 'pumping iron'. :) Just hope you don't have to do that, cause it wasn't so much fun. The people at the IV therapy center were sooo nice, though.

Amber, I have been having headaches too. Although I think mine are due to the horrible air quality that we have been having.
