Anemic While Pregnant

[ramseyn5]

I was told at 30 my blood taken at 28 wks was anemic and was given iron tablets I'm now 35weeks but ran out of tablets and my midwife said i dont need to take then anymore. does this sound right what if I'm still anemic will this not effect the birth or my baby. Is it safe to continue taking iron tablets anyway, what do u think?

I dont think this will effect your baby, as the little one is prob fully grown now.

if you are worried why not get some liquid iron from the chemist, it is safe in pregnancy. but you will have to pay for it. xxxx

I think your right it cant affect the baby anymore it just affects the delivery you have and how much blood you loose.
I have heard many horror stories from the midwifes and consultants about my ongoing anemia problem, i have only just recieved my iron which of corse is far too late for me as the doctors have known im anemic for years and the midwifes throughout the preg.
I should ask for another blood test to confirm that stopping theiron is ok, otherwise youll be even more tired throughout labour, the risk of hemoridge is higher than usual and of corse youll be feeling down in the dumps more!
