Basically I'm extremely anemic... (8.1 when you should be in double digits) And also my OB says I'm…

I'm just as anemic my last blood draw was just barely 8.4 or something like that! I'm terrified that could be bad during birth

@lilybug, they told me they're going to try and control it with medication for now but it's labor comes they'll have to keep a good eye on me. It's the blood loss especially for me that's worrying. Most likely I'll either get medicated and monitored and hope for the best or I'll pass out during labor... Which isn't good.

Yeah I'm taking iron pills twice a day. I'm just worried about like losing to much blood when she's born and passing out!

@lilybug, not that I want this to happen but most likely I'll have a c section.. Even then it could be tricky for me!

im starting iron pills tomorrow. mine was a 9 and it should be a 11.1 or higher. ugh. its so awful to feel this way

@aliepaige, my heart rate was in the 140-50s when I was in L&D the other day. I was cold to the touch and feeling like fire on the inside. I was plummeting. It's an awful feeling for sure.

yuck. im sorry :(
