Hey everyone hoping to get some advice i havent been feeling right for a while which really floored me even more On the 7th of April i had a missed call from a midwife saying to call back then was advised that my iron was low on the 9th I called on the 10th to collect furrueous furmate 305mg after collecting I felt extremely light headed,my vision went blurry,had ringing in my ears and had to put myself to the floor in the middle of asda which has happened before but not to that extreme I called the assesment unit and she didn't seem fussed just to keep taking my iron tablets but spoke to another midwife today regarding another issue and she went threw the roof she was really concerned at my blood work and told me to come straight to the hospital so I called assessment unit and she said the opposite just to keep taking my tablets I'm so confused!! Should I be worried ? My iron was 92 when I was last tested on the 21st

Back in the day when I was pregnant with my son, I was anaemic. I felt close to fainting a few times, exactly as you described, ringing in ears etc. I remember trying to hoover but feeling breathless so had to sit down. A midwife came to the house with the iron tablets after I had attended the antenatal clinic had bloods taken. It took a few days but the tablets did work.

Did you tell the assessment unit the previous midwife had expressed concern?

How are you today @Colee321? Gave you managed to speak to your MW again?

Are you taking Vitamin C t the sane time as the tablets? A glass of orange juice sound do.

And are you managing to eat some Iron Rich foods?
