I have had loads of problems over the last couple of months and have felt like absolute crap most of the time. I got the results of my blood tests today and i have anemia and low folic acid which explains quite a bit.
I am in the process of looking it all up online but each website says something deferent. I am getting the impression from the websites that it is going to ruin the chances of my having a home birth or birthing centre birth (which I wanted one or the other). The midwife didn't mention any of this to me, but she doesn't do much for me because I am booked under a different hospital.
I am 31 weeks, does anybody know how long I am likely to have had this for? I last had blood tests done at my booking appointment at 13 weeks, although I wasn't actually told the results. I thought I would hear if something was wrong, but TBH I don't think anybody was planning to contact me about these ones, it was only because I had a midwife appointment and I was in hospital yesterday feeling very rough.
I have been prescribed tablets for iron and folic acid but can't collect it till tomorrow as they didn't keep that one in stock as it is apparently quite unusal to have a combined tablet for the 2.
I don't really know much to be honest and have mixed feelings. I was relieved at first as at least now I know what is wrong with me and will hopefully start to feel better, but now I am getting a bit worried if it means I have to go to labour ward to deliver and there are risks of the baby getting anemia etc.
Would appriciate any honest advice.
