Thread: Passed!

I passed the 1 hour glucose. Yay! But I'm anemic. Since its the second time my iron is low they want me to take a supplement now. Boo. I forsee serious constipation in my near future. haha.

Yay for passing!!

You won't be alone in that, lol. I hope the supplements don't mess with you too badly and congrats on passing your glucose test!

Yay!!!! Congrats on passing! One less thing to worry about. Sorry about the anemia though. I hope the supplements don't mess with your system too much.

Yay for passing, but i'm sorry your anemic. Are they just having you take extra iron for a little while and then retesting or until the end?

I think they will want me on supplements until the end, only because I dont think there are more standard blood tests after this point? Are there? But maybe they will give me a special blood test just to check my iron. The last test I thought is the group strep b and thats not a blood test. I dont know for sure, because the midwife left me a voicemail and the office was closed when I called back. So Im not sure how much or anything yet. But I hear its common. My friend was anemic throughout her pregnancy too. I read today that it can be more prevalent in those who had lots of morning sickness, which I did. And in those who had heavy periods before becoming preggers which I also had.

Yay for passing! Anemia is pretty common. Ive had it with all my babies. The iron suplements should fix it though. They taste awful though!

Yay for passing! Sorry you have to take the iron supplements, hopefully they won't cause too many issues with your system.
