Pregnancy anemia rant - Page 2

Kmama2-my levels were at 11.4 and the mw told me add extra iron, I take floradix and mixed with oj it isn't bad at all. As for me I keep forgetting to take it daily and skipped 2 days and this am I had horrible shortness of breath, fast beating hr, and dizziness almost to vomitting. I took the floridix right after and have been taking it easy but I am bummed I want get stuff done. I did clean out the hall closet and am doing laundry but I wanted to more than lay on the couch today. Guess this my lesson to remember to take my supplement....

Anemia is so annoying. My levels were 9.6 at 29 weeks. They were 10.7 at 28 weeks with DD, so I'm actually lower than I was then BUT I didn't have as many symptoms, go figure. I've been taking the RBC builder (red blood cell) pills from Vitanica for the past week, and feel better already. It has yellowdock (which REALLY helps me for some reason, for me it works better than floradix) and some other stuff along with iron in it. Plus it is in pill form (I couldn't choke down the Floradix again!).
