Ok, so I know I'm anaemic - it's been confirmed by blood tests, I have all the symptoms, and I was prescribed 420mg a day of ferrous fumerate.
I've been asked to go on a work trip tomorrow which involves a flight. As I'm pregnant, I've been checking whether it's ok to fly, and the nhs guidelines say I can fly unless I have "severe anaemia" (apparently it's ok to fly with regular anaemia).
I'm trying to get hold of my gp to ask what counts as "severe" but no joy so far, so wondered if the mighty power of mumsnet can shed any light on this?

What's the difference between "severe anaemia" and regular anaemia?
