Iron tablets

Ohhhhh @PixieFix you are getting close! You must be next!!! How are you feeling?

I had a wobbly couple of weeks where I was just terrified of labour and thought I must have been mad to want to do this, but now I'm totally over that thankfully! I'm so excited about the birth, feel ready for the challenge and just can't wait to hold my baby Started packing my hospital bag yesterday so it all feels very real and close. You're not far behind me @clothmama Been following your lists, I think you are a lot more organised than me

Those wobbles are very normal!!! Glad you are getting your bag packed, I started mine today with just a few bits and pieces but it has calmed me down a bit I hope my lists have helped, I just need to actually finish what is on them!!!

awwww can't wait to hear your news @PixieFix

Just updating my post, started off on 1 tablet a day and have worked my way up to 3. My energy levels have dipped even further though, was hoping to be feeling better. Have had to take some time off work and will go back to the doctors next week. Am hoping its just taking a while for my iron levels to rise and then I'll feel better

@ponygirl that is a bummer especially if you are managing to have so many tablets as you say it will take a little while to catch up though so hopefully you are already starting to feel a little better

I think I'm feeling a bit better this week, definetely less shaky although have had a quieter week in general so far. Am just making sure I'm regularly taking the tablets with orange juice and am still persevering with iron rich foods. Its difficult to know what level of tiredness is caused by the iron deficiency and what is normal for third trimester.
