planning second homebirth
AMA LOL I'm 42 and have been feeling totally awesome, on top of the world good until a few weeks ago
Shortness of breath, racing pulse, can't catch my breath, palps. Labwork shows Vit D deficiency so taking 5000 IU per day and anemia so I start immediately on liquid chlorophyll (I got confused and didn't buy Floradix but the World Organic liquid instead). I enjoy liver, so started eating organic chicken liver. Felt 90% better within a few days. Bps good, sugars good, pulse ox good.
Prenatal appt went fine, although she did hear a few missed and extra beats. Said she was not worried yet but could refer me to a cardiologist for a workup if I wanted (meaning to calm hubby's fears) I declined and she suggested switching to Flouradix since it usually works quite well.
4 days on Flouradix and I am sooooo nausesous I feel like I have vitamin overload Could it be possible, that my iron is now up and I am getting too much? Poops are blackish and I feel so gross. Aannd it made my acid reflux come back so I am burping up nasty herbal taste ick...no...I go back for more labwork so that will help know where we are at.
I hate feeling sick when I have felt so well. I don't like the out of control feeling it is giving me or the idea that I will not feel well through the end of this pregnancy.
Advice? Suggestions? Words of wisdom?
