@alexinwonderland, this pregnancy is the first time for me too. I told my ob I was and she said well your not now I was floored. I've been for as long as I can remember and was with my first son, they had me on these super potent iron pills I think like 800mg my whole pregnancy and my son was born anemic anyway. SMH I don't get how the body decides to work when it wants to

Yes. I was put on iron twice a day due to fainting.

yes 😔

I was with my first I ate whole tomatoes every day and got it back up

I found out that I am as there have me taking iron pills

Surprisingly this pregnancy was the first time in my life I wasn't anemic. However as soon as I popped the baby out my iron dropped again. Diet can control it pretty well, lots of leafy greens. Otherwise take an iron pill but you may need a stool softener as well.

my dr thinks my baby will be here I. a week is that enough time for the iron pills to work? @threekings101415

I was when I was pregnant.. Iron pills is what u need.
