Anemia ?

My doc called & said my iron is low. I'm 34 weeks today. Funny thing is I've been obsessed with eating ice the last few weeks & just found out that is a symptom. Plus I've been dizzy, my heart is pounding out of my chest. I told my husband the other day my heart keeps beating super fast & I wondered if something was wrong.

Anyway, doc said my iron was 9. Is that low enough to have all these symptoms? I can barely function the last few weeks cause I get out of breath so easy just doing little stuff. It's driving me crazy!

    Getting out of breath could just be where the baby is pressing on the bottom of your chest as its growing, its a common pregnancy complaint! Also could be to do with your anaemia, the most common symptom is fatigue and 9 is quite low but it should go back up nicely with iron supplements and a good diet! Take care

    I just started the supplements today, so hopefully that will help soon! I got a full house to take care of here, thanks.

    Mine was around 9 after I had the baby. Its low but not low enough for a transfusion.
