Iron levels in pregnancy

[LauraKC]

My blood tests revealed that i am low in iron and also have low blood pressure. does anyone else have this problem? i do eat such a balanced diet but am going to make sure i have more red meat. does anyone know the implications of anemia and low BP in pregnancy? Also any advice for me.
Probably explains why i cant stop sleeping!
Thanks

i think low BP is quite common that why they talk about pregnant women fainting.

Iron I know can make you tired,but also they will monitor it closely.When i got my blood results on Tues I was told my Iron levels were high but my stores were borderline so they are gonna do another Blood test to check my reserve levels again in a few weeks..She told me not to worry though as there was plenty of time to get my iron levels up if necessary,green veg is also good for iron
