Can Pregnancy Cause Anemia? Posted: 08-19-05 21:32pm


My husband and I are trying to concieve and I jsut found out the other day while trying to donate blood that I was anemic... I have never been anemic before. Could it be a strange possiable early symptom? Just strange that I am anemic all of a sudden when 2 months ago I was not nor have I ever been iron deficient. Some help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Im 37 wks preg and they found out I was anemic about 3 wks ago yes you can become anemic during pregnacy but I would guess during late pregnacy I think it would be to early for you to become anemic if you were pregnant and you can be anemic with out being preg.

I am 3 and a half months pregnant and started showing signs of anemia 2 or 3 weeks ago. I wasn't anemic before I was pregnant.
