Hello, I am hoping that someone can help.
I have had dire blood test results all through this pregnancy and no amount of iron tablets has raised my iron level. I found out my great granny had pernicious anaemia and so brought this up with my GP, he brushed it aside and just increased my iron intake. Anyway last week midwife looked back through my bloods and said she was worried. Got latest results today and on the print out it states "URGENT TREATMENT REQUIRED." All the results point to pernicious anaemia. I can't see my GP until next Thursday (so receptionist says), I have spoken to community midwives and the maternity ward, who have all tried to get hold of the blood analysist for me, but they haven't called back. I am really worried about what this all means. Will I be able to get treatment for B12 deficiency whilst pregnant and will my low levels have any affect on my baby?
