I had a blood test last week - full blood count - as part of routine monitoring. The doctor called and asked me to come in to talk about the results. I met with her this evening and she explained that my red blood cells were enlarged. I am being sent for further tests for B12 and folate deficiency.
Has anyone else been in this position? Can a folate problem harm the baby? I'm 28 weeks and the previous blood tests at booking appointment were all normal.
