Thinking back when I had my last child (2 years ago) my blood work after showed low iron and folate, I had my 16 week app today and she said I’ve got low iron and prescribed me tablets, I queried whether I should have been having these along with a higher dose of folic acid and she said it’s gone past the stage of folic acid supplements now so there’s nothing really we can do.
I've now sent myself into a panic that I have low folic acid because of my low iron and have really bad anxiety about my 20 week scan and the baby having spina bifida.
Has anyone been prescribed iron or been in a similar situation and had a pregnancy that’s absolutely fine?
