Remember you are using twice the amount of Iron now that you are pregnant, so If your iron levels were dropping prior to pregnancy then chances are the levels are worse now- Go have a big steak and eat some oranges!!
Keep us posted!

Sorry to hear you are experincing this. I had the exact same thing in my last pregnancy although i did have high blood pressure , protein in my urine aswell as very swollen ankles...but not as early into the pregnancy i would definately be taking yourself off to the Dr's as soon as possible you need to get this checked out sooner rather then later.
Well just a quick update, seen Ob today and she has said everything sounds quite normal, and my blood pressure has lowered from normal which would explain it as well. Will get to the doctor tomorrow and get bloods taken just to be certain there isn't anything else going on though... but at least the headaches have settled a little
Thanks
