Low red cell count
I picked up my pre-natal bloods results from my doctors, that I had done at 10wks (approx 7wks ago) and they show that I have a slightly low red cell blood count.
Your count may not have been low enough to be a big concern. Your body is also constantly making new red blood cells, so if your count wasn't too low, they may have just wanted to give your body time to catch up. Ask about it at your next appt. there are injections you can get to help increase red cell production, as opposed to getting blood transfusions which is really more of an emergency situation, but I'm not sure how the injections would impact pregnancy. Try to eat lots of iron rich foods in the mean time to keep those levels up. Good luck!
I had the same problem. But my low red blood cells were low before pregnancy and I think it got worse after I got pregnant. So my doctor told me the next time I went to see her. I'm guessing it depends on how bad it is. Mine is bad because I have to see a hematologist for it and I can't get an epi if it continues to stay low. But I'd really bring it up to your doctor on your next visit. Maybe it slipped their mind to inform you. Good luck Hun.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

My red cell count is 4.8 when the lowest recommended count is 5, so not massively low.
