Hello everyone!!!! Sorry it has been soooo long since I have been on, hope you are all doing well! We are all good, i had my 20 week scan a couple of weeks ago and everything is looking fine, they had a good look at his lips and heart as those are the two areas most commonly negatively affected by the zofran I had to take and all is looking ok. What a relief!!!
Mommy, what an absolute cutie your little one is!!!

Taytum - I had very low iron in first pregnancy and ended up having to take liquid iron each day (yuck!!!). For the last two pregnancies I have taken something called floradix from the start (a kind of gentle iron supplement) and my levels have stayed fine, so I don't think it hurts to top up a bit. How are you feeling? That is the main thing. I don't think having levels on the low side is a prob for bub, but if you are feeling tired and lightheaded etc it might be worth taking something extra? I felt soooo much better as soon as I had the iron, I hadn't realised how knackered I was until I took it!!

I actually haven't felt much different (other than a baby in my right rib! [emoji30]). I went to bed early the other night and I've been sleeping pretty soundly. No lightheaded or headaches and I don't think any more tired than my crazy week/3rd trimester has allowed. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't depriving baby of nutrients!

I'm pretty sure they suck us dry before being at any great risk of being short themselves!!! Glad you are sleeping well and generally feeling good!! I know you were about pain relief a few (hundred!!) pages back and I want to read that again and respond as I have had two v different births re pain relief options

Mommymachine what a beautiful photo!!
I have my 20 wk scan in 2 weeks. I saw the hospital doctor today and she told me that I'm anemic! Normal feritin levels are 15-180. Mine was 6!! I'm in shock too Taytum because I've been taking my pre natals and feel fine. She told me to increase my iron but if it hasn't improved by 28 weeks I'll need a blood transfusion. Has anyone ever had a transfusion during pregnancy?
@mamacass i didnt do anything extra to update. 🤔
@mommymachine cute pic[emoji106]
@fiya looking forward for a pic from anatomy scan. Hope everything is ok
@taytum my feritin level was at 7 n i started taking feramax but was not too regular.
My hemoglobin is low again in recent test yesterday. Dr started me on 300 mg iron[emoji37]

Violet - wow!! See, this is just interesting to me that it seems like a serious issue and I don't know if my doc is just more laid back?
I hope you are able to increase it!! Blood transfusion sounds so scary!
