Shattered...

[Neon]

Hi I'm 24+2. I was ill all of last week with DSs diarrhea bug then DPs sickness bug so on the weekend slept majority of it away. Couldn't face work Monday as still had diarrhea and weak as hell-went to docs and he said anaemic and wiped out from bugs.

I am still totally wiped out and seriously energyless - I'm normally quite active.

Have a MW appointment in the morning and wondered if there is anything I should ask her/get tested for? I wasn't like this in 1st PG..

You poor thing!

I've had iron deficiency and it sounds like that could be it. Have you had iron tablets prescribed? The side effects on your bowels are nasty. Try buying some Spatone instead - you add it to orange juice and drink it. Much more gentle on the bowels. Worth a try!

Hope you feel better soon x

You normally have blood tests at 28weeks to check iron levels but when I went other day at 25weeks and feeling like you they done them earlier just incase. Hope you feel better soon. X
