I saw my OB today for my 28 week visit. I was dx'd with anemia at around 12 weeks, put on a Rx iron supplement, 90mg. At 25 weeks my lab results showed my iron is still dropping, so he increased my dosage to 180mg. He mentioned today that if my next labs come back low, he will send me to a hemotologist for IV iron infusions. My next labs are in 2 weeks, at my 30 week appt.
Anyone BTDT? I was not anemic with DS1, so this is new territory for me. I've been making a point of eating iron rich foods, and have never missed a dose of meds. Is there anything else I can try in hopes of not getting to the point of needing infusions?
