So my I went for my glucose testing last week and I think they took another vial or two of blood for other tests. Turns out my iron is somewhat low. Doc's office calls this afternoon and says I should get some Iron Supplements -Slow FE and take 1 daily along with my prenatal vitamin. Has anyone else had this? I know my sister had low Iron Levels but I think it was later in pregnancy. Anyway, just wanted to konw if this effected anyone else out there!
Thanks all!

Yep, I had low iron levels throughout my pregnancy. I always felt like i was going to pass out...no morning sickness, just always feeling like fainting. I had to take 3 iron pills (ferrous sulfate) daily, even after I had him. Don't worry about!! Everything will be fine!
Hey Arrah!
Not a big deal. Fe requirements usually go up during pregnancy, very common. Take cake honey!
many (lots) of women start to have low iron at end of their preg (third trimester) I did but I didnt take the sups because they were too hard on my stomach. Rae took them and my other friend had Low Iron too....just take your multi vitamin and milk, and oatmeal in the AM and you will be great! !!!! take care
