Low iron + Mood

Hello All!
Been doing so well all pregnancy - I do have a history of anxiety and have stayed on my medication throughout pregnancy - However in the last 2 weeks my mood has really dipped and im worried about it / suffering with anxiety over bieth / life after baby
However I also got my blood result back and I have incredibly low ferritin (9)
and my blood results showed very low Red blood cell count , Haemoglobin and HCT.
I am wondering if you think this contributes - has anyone else experienced this?

also wondering is this just normal path of emotions and to not over think it.
Thank you!

Low ferritin can contribute hugely to anxiety. Has the MW arranged iron tablets? I hope once you boost your levels your anxiety improves a bit Flowers
