So Nervous!!!
Posted: 11-20-07 13:27pm

So, I missed a call on my phone and when I checked my messages, it was my Dr's office.

Why would they be calling besides to tell me I failed my glucose test?!?!?! I really hope I didn't fail it, cuz just the THOUGHT of the 3 hour test makes me queasy!! Me+needles= Shocked

I have to call back at 12.30, so I'll let everyone know what they say!!!

ok, I just called.

My glucose test came back "okaaay", but my blood count is very low. So they're adding an iron supplement to my prenatals.

Which sucks because I'm already needing lots of fiber supplements to help me poop....this is just gonna be horrible. LOL...

With 3 tablespoons of natural fiber, I'm pooping like a rabbit. I can only IMAGINE what it'll be like with added Iron!! EEK! LOL!

I'm glad I passed the Glucose test too. She made it sound as if I had BARELY passed it though, ya know? She wasn't the most ENTHUSED person when telling me the results!!!

I'm not too worried about the anemia. I"ve been wondering why I've been super tired lately...explains A LOT! LOL!

I told her I wanted my follow up u/s to be this week coming because I couldn't wait another 3 weeks. So I'm going to call Monday and HOPEFULLY I can get in on Monday for the u/s. I love sneak peeks at the baby!!!!

i had to take 3-4 iron suppliments when i was preggy and they were for anemic people said not to take over one a day on the package so i guess i was pretty anemic.. i've been thinking i might still be anemic but i dont know

My prenatals have lots of iron in them, and I take em religiously.

They have me taking only one per day, they're really strong. The box says not to take more than one per day as it can cause overdose. Esp in preggy women who are taking other vitamins that contain iron.

I never became Anemic with my first, so this is all new to me. It's crazy how different every pregnancy is!!
