I had my bloods done at my 20 week appointment with midwife 5 weeks ago. Rang up few days later to check result, said everything was fine. Went to see doctor last week due to chest infection and she said on the system it says I have a prescription waiting as I need to take iron tablets 3x a day as I'm anaemic. Went triage due to severe headache on Tuesday that wouldn't budge and when I told the nurse I was on iron tablets 3x a day she said thats is alot so must be very anaemic. Had my next appointment with my midwife today and she rang up to get results of the bloods so she could put them in my notes and said my iron was absolutely fine, no action needed. Its 110. When I told her she didn't seem too bothered and said it wont hurt to take them. So I dont know whats going on. Am I anaemic or not. Being told different things and 3 iron tablets a day is alot to take and I'm sure too much iron can be bad for you? What does everyone else think? X
