Is This True? Posted: 06-22-04 10:34am
I am pregnant, and I am taking an iron
tablet daily because I have low iron. I
heard that when your on an iron suppliment
and you go in labor you hemmorage really
bad. Does anyone know that this is true?

Not true! I was on an an iron supplement
from the time I was about 12 weeks till I
delivered...Then they told me to keep
taking it because I am breastfeeding. But
I did not have bad bleeding at all. I had
an easy, problem-free delivery and I am
sure you will too!

No its the other way round if your iron is
low and you are not on a supplement then
your at risk of bleeding quite a bit and
having to have a transfusion, I only know
this because on my second they was not
going to let me have a homebirth because
my iron was near enough at blood
transfusion level before I had even gone
into labor and I couldn't take iron
tablets but I went to the health shop and
bought spatone which is a liquid form and
it brought my iron up just enough for me
to stay at home but I was lucky because my
waters went I phoned my midwife she
arrived at 4:50pm and my son was born at
5:07pm didnt think she expected that one
because I had no labor pains lol it went
from nothing to me being in agony and
pushing him out so if I wasn't allowed to
have a home birth he would have been to
quick for me to even get to the hosp lol
