B12 deficiency at 25 weeks and low ferritin

[SarahJaniey]

I’m 25 weeks pregnant and was advised I have a B12 deficiency and low ferritin levels! I’m panicking and really worried about my baby and the possibly neurological effects and Neural Tube defects (I stupidly googled it). I have to start B12 injections first thing next week. Is there anything else I can do or get checked to help and to put my mind at ease?

Join the B12 wake up group on facebook. Excellent advice for deficiency. They help with co-factors too such as ferritin too

Thank you, I will!

I had really really low b12 not discovered until 36 weeks pregnant (when my anaemia was getting worse despite iron tabs). I was put on injections immediately. Baby is now 5 months and seems totally fine!

Oh I’m so glad to hear you baby’s doing well! Congratulations and thank you for your reply!
