iron deficiency or bug?!

[steppyhen]

30 weeks pregnant, had bloods taken at 28 weeks which showed low haemoglobin levels so doctor prescribed iron tablets, i have been on these for a week now and have changed diet and resting plenty but the past few days i have felt awful extremely dizzy have fallen/lost balance not quite sure what it was twice, can barely move out of bed
Husband says i am looking really pale.
Any suggestions?! feel horrendous :(

I had a vitamin B12 deficiency in pregnancy in experienced the same. No idea if this is the case with you though. Take good care of yourself.

Sounds like it's worth a phone call to the midwife. My Hb level was low so was put on iron tablets, but the only side effects I had were constipation and black poo (apparently common). Iron tablets are supposed to take effect quite quickly from what I remember.

Give them a call and at least it should set your mind at rest.
Good luck x

i have tried midwife she says she will ring me back that was at 10 am .. will try again xx
