Do you or have you had Anemia? Or those just pregnant or have been, how tired have you gotten? It's so hard for me to do much of ANYTHING during the day because I'll get exhausted! I feel terrible because I ask my husband to do so much for me but it's like I get light headed near the point of passing out. Oh yeah, I AM anemia I have a blood level of 8.1.. when I was giving birth the nurse said she was surprised I could get up and walk around etc. So anyone going through similar situations? ↓

I haven't had anemia, and I'm a lot farther along than you... but lately I've been really really exhausted. This afternoon while I was waiting for my prescription to be filled I went out to lunch... All the sudden out of nowhere I feel really dizzy and lightheaded, I get tunnel vision and I feel like I'm going to pass out. My arms and legs got so weak I couldn't even move. Then BOOM! I threw up all over the place, I felt so bad for the poor people sitting next to me trying to eat their lunches having a pregnant woman throwing up in front of them. After that I felt perfectly fine. I don't know if that has anything to do with your situation, but I thought I'd tell you anyway :P ↑

Ah gosh I am sorry! That must have been terrible! I get all of the tunnel vision type and I get dizzy and can't move ah it sucks! ↑

Try throwing up? Haha, okay maybe not... When do you have a doctor's appointment? Maybe he can give you some advice on what will make you feel better... Sorry I have no advice on the matter :( ↑

My doctor appointment is May 22nd ^^x and yeah that might explain it. But I need to see a hematologist to see what I can do about my anemia. ↑

What...? She's not showing any signs of miscarrying. I'm sure her lightheadedness and tiredness has to due with her anemia. You're kind of dumb >.< ↑
I'm not actually labeled anemic but my dr. gave me iron pills to take every other day. My levels were 1O.6 and 11 is considered normal so I was just under. I didn't do well with my prenatals in the first tri and they said I could take 2 Flintstones vitamins.....well they didn't have any iron in them and I never bothered to check till my gestational diabetes test came back and my iron was low. So I'd had no extra iron my entire pregnancy. My word of advice would be to make sure your prenatals have iron lol ↑
I think angel is jealous rofl. But yeah no I've known I was pregnant for not that long now sweetie :) It's called I have severe anemia which makes you very very tired. :) Stop hating because you can't get pregnant jesus it's not my fault you're a worthless scumbag. ↑

how funny! angel cries in other posts about addy following her around and here she is being a bitch to addy for no reason in this one. angel, with all your messages of love, are you trying to add years onto your ttc quest? we all know you're a stupid, immature, selfish kid, but it's ok. we get a kick out of pushing your buttons. **addy** make sure you eat plenty of hamburgers, steaks and any other red meats until your appointment. ↑

i've never been amenic but my cousin was with her first pregnancy and the doctor just gave her iron tablets and she was fine. you should definately ask your husband to help you out more espcially seeing as you already have a toddler to look after as well. i get my partner to help me out as i have been more tired but luckily my other child is now 7 and she is a big help to me. oh and i've also had the eating thing. i went off most foods for about 3 weeks. and i just lived on sandwiches but thankfully i can eat again. oh and congrats on the pregnancy x ↑
I never had anemia with my pregnancy with my daughter, but my whole first trimester I could barely stay awake I felt sooo tired! this pregnancy so far has been much the same..Best to get it checked out though, although usually they;ll do that for you at your first doctor visit. ↑

Oh yes and for anemia they may be able to prescribe you Iron. Bleh, a level of eight is terrible you poor thing. :( ↑
Name: AddysMummy | Date: May 1st, 2008 2:26 PM
Well iron doesn't help me, I think it's Vitamin C I am low on which helps the absorption of iron. Blah. But anyways angel. We all know you're jealous. You're jealous because you're an uneducated twat who isn't and probably wont get pregnant :) you're just worthless HAHA ↑

i wouldnt worry much with the analgorilla, she is just jealous of you addysmummy. I really hope your dr can straighten it out for you. However i do have to ask, did you have gd with addy? i think i had gd with alexa (the day i went to test AGAIN was the day i was induced) the gd caused me to be super super thirsty and you add that to anemia, and i can imagine you dont want to move about.... good luck!!! and ignore the little child, she just wishes she hadn't shown how immature she was so we wouldn't be calling her out all the time!! ↑
Gestational diabetes=GD. The test is a super sweet yucky drink. Almost threw up when drinking it. Good luck! ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 1st, 2008 4:21 PM
whatevr addy and tish, its just your silly little opinion it dosnt mean jack shit 2 me, oh and id rather not get pregnant at all than have children that are like you 2. i dont care if i dont get pregnant with in like the next year!!! i have plenty of time, but i mo,s well try or it wont happen :[) ↑
Name: AddysMummy | Date: May 1st, 2008 4:30 PM
Yeah no, you're jealous :) I WANT my daughter to be like me, that means she wont be like YOU which means she wont be stupid and raised improperly like you obviously were :) She'll me intelligent and happy and have a good life not a piece of shit one like you. ↑
I hated the GD test... They gave me this bottle and it looked like orange gatorade or something so I was like hmm this might taste good! No... not even close. I almost spit it out, I could barely swallow it I was like gagging trying to. Then the entire hour afterwards I had the worst stomach ache and felt like I was going to throw up. It was like having morning sickness all over again and I hatehatehate morning sickness, I thought I was going to die during my first trimester I had it so bad. Anyway... I just thought I'd share :) ↑
Name: AddysMummy | Date: May 1st, 2008 5:13 PM
OHHH Gestational Diabetes, no I've never had GD thank gosh! ↑
