just wondering when they check your iron levels???
Hi, I had my iron levels checked at my booking appointment with my midwife ( yes they actually did something!!) but they told me if there were any problems with my blood tests they would ring and let me know. But I know through past experience if you have any symptoms of low iron your docs would check your blood if you ask them too. Are you taking a multivitamin supplement, I know the Sanatogen ones I'm taking has iron in it xxx
Oh and my booking appointment was at eight weeks x
My midwife checked it on the first appointment when i was 11weeks but surely they have to check it more.well when i was bleeding at 13weeks they've checked it as well but that was i'm gonna ask my midwife next time i see her 
Ah thanks, so should get them done tmw then, I am taking pregnacare, thinkthat has iron in it? just remember when I had to take them last time at 20 wks made me sick again!! so hopeit's not my iron but will explain why I'm feeling cold, faint, and tired! but then again that also just sounds like being pregnant lol x
Well funny you should say that I passed out the other week I had been similar tired, cold and dizzy it turned out to be my blood pressure dropping too low which is really common in pregnancy so you never know it could be that??yeah pregnacare is really good so should cover iron! And like what Cheekmonkey says if your concerned drink orange juice with your meals xxx
Babymother...I don't eat red meat so was worried that I would not be getting enough iron so I did some research and found this out. Drink Orange Juice with your meals as this helps the body absorb the iron from your food, in addition to this drinking tea/coffee within an hour of your meal inhibits the absorption of Iron...needless to say I drink OJ everyday with my dinner and take my Pregnacare at the same time. My iron was good at the booking appt bloods and so I continued to do this as I figured what harm can be done X
I would but the thought of Orange juice makes me feel sick maybeifIhave some lemonade in it ? Will give it a try gone off tea and coffee, just been drinking water really, will try and take pregnacare with dinner, but I do struggle with the thought of that makes me feel sick lol! Thanks guys x
