My iron is currently at 9.4 an I was just put on extra iron supplements. It has been dropping since about 32 weeks. 30 weeks 14.632 weeks 11.734 weeks 10.735 weeks 9.4How will low iron affect my baby? Will I be induced early if my iron doesn‘t go back up?
I bet you 220 bucks that you get lead poisoning and your baby dies
i change into prescribed iron pills very last week because I lost a lot blood when I gave delivery. I understood that they can make you constipated and pronounced this as a situation to the midwife and he or she stated they may also 'make you flow any opposite direction'. hence it truly is a chance that you pills are in charge. She stated if the stools are black then the iron isn't being absorbed sufficient and to drink a lot of orange juice when I take them as this helps absorption. She also stated tea and espresso decreases this and under no circumstances to drink those interior an hour of the pills. Hormones can thoroughly decrease to rubble your bowels. search for suggestion out of your midwife.
I had very low iron with my first, it was so low that I was fainting so much from it. This second pregnancy it is somewhat low again and they have no intention of inducing me because of low iron, they didn't with the first either. Remember baby gets what they need from your body, and then you get the leftovers. The best thing to do if you get faintly feeling like I did is to eat more protein than anything else at your meals, especially breakfast time! Also you say you are taking iron supplement and its still dropping, try taking a liquid iron. I know the only kind my body would absorb was the liquid iron and the brand was floridax. I could only find that at a health food store.
