I went to physio today for a migraine treatment and he took one look at me and said "you're anaemic". He then told me off, said I look "very unwell" and "need to take care". I don't know what to do. Go to dr? I am not seeing consultant until 16 weeks (3 more weeks) but I feel vile. Apparently anaemia can make you feel sick (check) and exhausted (check). I am finding things like getting up to go to the toilet very trying (I need to rest after)...I just feel so shite and can't see a way out.
I'm not able to stomach my prenatal vitamins at the moment so have been taking double dose folic acid and thats it. It I remember correctly from previous pregnancies, the iron tablets they gave me weren't very effective and it took weeks to feel any effect. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? What to take (other than ferrous sulphate)? Do I see my GP? Call the midwife?
