I'm 29 weeks gone in my 3rd pregnancy, have been passing out for around 2 mnths now and last week it got so bad my MW sent me to labour ward for monitoring, after loads of tests they told me i have anemia, hb levels 8.4, i had it in both prev'pregnancys but never felt as bad as this :( have been put on iron tablets (the joys of it all, black sick has been a new one this time around!)and trying everything to get my levels up, oj a plenty (think this little girl will have a Jorden esque orange glow with the amount i have been drinking, lol!)but following a very trumatic birth last time around was hoping to have a homebirth and had a very supportive MW and was actually looking forward to it.Has any one managed to get low levels up to normal in pregnancy before (I didnt last 2 times :() and should I just resign myself to the idea that i'll never get a much longed for homebirth and get used to giving birth in a hospital without curtains at the windows???
