Passed glucose test!! BUT found out...
I am slightly anemic . She told me to just take iron supplements everyother day and they may cause constipation (like I need more of that ).
Do I need to worry ?

Re: Passed glucose test!! BUT found out...
Good news about passing your glucose test!!! I have no idea about the anemic thing. But if your doctor isn't worried than I wouldn't worry!

Glad to hear you passed!! My cousin was slightly anemic during her PG and it was no biggie. She had an almost 9 lb very healthy baby.

Re: Passed glucose test!! BUT found out...
What week(s) do you take your glucose test(s)?
Edited to add: my girlfriend was just told she is anemic too by a hematologist she was being followed by; however her OB said she was within the average range for a PG woman...that's scary that he didn't know the correlation and he's the head of LIJ!

The SAME thing happened to me. They told me to take low doseage iron pills. After a week of taking them I stopped because I couldn't go to the bathroom "comfortably".

Re: Passed glucose test!! BUT found out...
I was very anemic with my 2nd pregnacy, I took th eiron supplements bu also made sure I ate a bran muffin for breakfast, this was really helpful. Anemia can cause extreme exhaustion, but once you're on supplements you'll feel better. Anemia can cause pica (which I had) and desire to eat VERY strange thigs, like paint, detergent, cardboard, etc. Beware, my PICA was severe.
