Found out I am very anemic. I'm so glad I have an answer to my symptoms now! 🙌 my doctor is also…

I've been anemic nearly my entire life so I know exactly how you feel! Especially when growing a baby takes the only energy you have left! 💟 hope your symptoms are bearable enough for you to get what you want done!

@elizabethslewy, that's not an easy thing to deal with 24/7, I'm sorry! My symptoms have made it nearly impossible to get anything done or keep up with my kiddos so I'm eager to feel better soon!

I have been severely iron deficient anemic my entire life and frequently nearly pass out multiple times daily. I take 325mg of iron daily and still have fainting spells.

@lakilucid, My goodness that's crazy! There's nothing else your doctor can do to help you? That sounds miserable! 😔

@angelmama12, nope. that's the highest dose I can take without iv. its always been normal for me since early childhood. I also have IBS so I can't tell what's labor pain and what's just another IBS attack. I deal with constant pain and stuff all the time so labor just adds to that.

@lakilucid, Oh wow. Im sorry you are dealing with all of that!

eh its normal. that's why I use cannabis instead of pharmaceutical poisons. when on pharmaceuticals its way worse. because then I have all the side effects and issues that come with the medications as well.

worst I get with cannabis is a pulled muscle from a cough, the munchies or god forbid a nap lol

@lakilucid, lol naps and food are never a bad thing! I would rather deal with those too!

exactly. I need food and sleep. I don't need cancer, colitis, kidney failure and nausea.

these are actual possible side effects of three different meds they have tried to put me on or have during this pregnancy.

and of course the procardia xl which is a blood pressure medication when I have normal bp to "slow" contractions until this point that has very serious cardiac risks.
