t’s understandable to be worried, especially during pregnancy. Pale or white nail beds can sometimes indicate anemia or circulation issues, but it's good that you're already on ferrous sulfate and feeling better. Since you’re waiting for a heart scan and have been evaluated by a professional who isn’t concerned about your fast heart rate, it sounds like you’re being monitored closely.
Still, your concerns about iron levels are valid. It might be helpful to discuss your nail color changes with your healthcare provider to see if any adjustments are needed in your treatment. They can offer reassurance and possibly check your iron levels to ensure you’re on the right track. Keeping communication open with your medical team is key during this time.
