Hello,
When I went for my 24 week midwife appointment I mentioned being tired and also shortness of breath. I was told it could be ironed related and needed to wait for my 27 week blood test to check my iron levels. I had the blood test and then saw my consultant at 28 weeks so I asked about my iron levels and she said they were all fine. I had a midwife appointment today (30 weeks) and the midwife asked if I was taking iron. I said I haven’t been given any. She showed me my levels were 33 and at this point in my pregnancy the levels should be at least 50 so she has now prescribed my iron.
I have been struggling with extreme tiredness and think I should have had a blood test sooner and my results looked at correctly. Should I be annoyed about this and complain or let this slide? Not sure if my hormones are just raging.
