So I Found Out...
Posted: 09-12-07 21:49pm

That I passed my 1 hr glucose test! Smile Yay for that. On the other hand, I found out I'm anemic....not a big shock. Shocked Anyone have any advice for dealing with it, besides taking iron supplements which my doctor already told me to start taking.

Ok, that's all the update I have for now. Oh and I'm 29 weeks today...yippie. Very
Happy How's everyone else doing?

Eat red meats but mostly eat dark green leafy veggies. They are high in iron. The supplements may cause you to be constipated, you may find you need to also take some fiber.

Anemia is very common in pregnancy. That is why they test for it Smile

Yea the nurse warned me about the constipation and to increase my fiber. I figured this was why I've been sooo exhausted lately, like beyond pregnancy tired.

More than likely it could be. You'll start feeling better after taking the iron.
