I had a letter from the docs to say that I am STILL anaemic and need my bloods redone (i had them done last week).
But GRRRR I've been taking my iron tablets, eating well and drinking orange juice with EVERYTHING as recommended.
It's worrying me slightly as the midwife said they advise against homebirths in cases of anaemia - something to do with the risk of bleeding being higher. I was surprised by this and googled it. Everything I found said that there is no real evidence to suggest it can cause problems in a homebirth and that it shouldn't stop you having one! So now I am confused!
I don't want to put me and baby at risk but I'm not going to give up my homebirth!!
Any ideas/suggestions/anything....????
