Anemia
So a couple weeks ago I got my blood drawn for my glucose testing. And last week I got a letter in the mail from my doctor saying that my iron is low and I am currently anemic. Ah ha! This now explains so much. Why I am always tired, always out of breath, feel dizzy (especially when I get up fast). Anyways, anyone else have this during pregnancy and do anything that made them feel better? Any certain foods? They said it was common but I didn't have this with my first pregnancy so any advice is welcome.

When I was prego with the boys, I had to take two iron pills on top of the prenatal. My doctor said he always prescribes that for twin pregnancies. Did your dr. put you on iron pills?
Oh wow, I guess I will have to be asking my doc about it. No she hasn't had me on anything. I have an appt next week though so hopefully we will discuss it then. Thanks!
I had to take iron pills too, during both my prgnancies. My Dr just told me to take over the counter ones along with my prenatal.
