I have had two previous pregnancies, sadly I had a miscarriage in Jan but am very luckily pregnant again! I am only 6 weeks along but so far feels much the same as the first (my second was a partial molar pregnancy and I felt v different)
I have been anaemic through both my previous pregnancies and this time around I feel the same, exhausted and breathless and my heart is pounding after one flight of stairs even though I'm fit and healthy. MY DH thinks I should just start taking iron tablets, I wonder if I should get a blood test first. I don't really want to waste the doctors time though. Do you think it's important they know I'm anaemic if I am or would you just self medicate?
I'm fed up with wanting to eat dark chocolate at breakfast!!
