Taytum I think most iron deficiencies can be corrected with iron suppliments. I'm guessing maybe that's why your doctor didn't seem too concerned. I'm hoping mine will improve with the suppliments because the last thing I want is bub to suffer and I don't want a transfusion. :(
Thankyou missiz, yes I have updated that it's a girl, I wasn't sure if there was another place I needed to fill stuff out to go on the spreadsheet :) I have just let her know mine isn't there so hopefully will be fixed up :)Quote:

The course for keeping iron lvls high here are three things,
Iron ofcourse, higher doses of folic acid and vitamine b12 injections.
@mommymachine - your baby girl is just GORGEOUS!!! What an absolutely fabulous picture to have, oh I'd say it has made you even more impatient to hold her :) I'm so wishing 3D scans were not a ridiculous price in this country, I'd love to have a more "fleshed out" picture of our little man!
@Taytum I have anaemia and am on an iron supplement long term (well honestly I've had to stop the past 7-10 ish days as it can become very hard on your system over time, I'll start back again in a couple of days) My latest pregnancy levels were at 10.8 I think and they said they were too low for this stage of pregnancy (but considering they were under 9 pre pregnancy I'm thinking I'm doing pretty ok!) and they will continue to get lower as the pregnancy progresses. Baby will not suffer through my low iron levels, it is just me that suffers through tiredness but the big downside can be excessive blood loss at delivery (luckily I've never been excessive and not needed a transfusion) If you are worried about your levels and want to slowly increase them maybe start an iron supp every second day, just ensure you get getting enough fibre to avoid constipation ;)
Ladies anyone notice an increase in back ache/bump ache around this stage (18+ weeks)? Is there a growth spurt coming up or anything? I just feel so uncomfortable the last 2-3 days with aches and pains everywhere. I'm really tired all the time too!!
Good idea hopper! Maybe I'll ask at my next appointment. Perhaps since I was 28+2 at time of draw and got an 11 they felt that was fine? I'll definitely double check!
I keep waking up on my back [emoji51] And then it's so sore! Also had a dream I gave birth early and it was a little girl with lots of dark hair! Dreams can make you crazy.
Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]

Yes, I'm with you hopper!! Although this time it seems to be mainly sudden complete death in my right leg (sciatic nerve?) and I am then unable to move until hubby rubs my bum cheek!! Today has been bad as I've been on feet all afternoon creating birthday cake for DD2 as we are having a family party tomorrow - can't believe she is already two!!!
