I got the results from my blood test back today, and YAY my glucose level after the long glucose test was 7.2! Yay!
But the midwife said my iron level was a little low.. it was 109 when it should be above 110. She asked if i was taking any suppliments and im taking Fabfol plus. She suggested that i just get some more iron tablets to bring my levels back up, as otherwise if i bleed during pregnancy it can cause problems.
Now.. my question is.. can you have too much iron? Do i really need bother with tablets since its 1 under or should i just adjust my diet? DH and i both remember hearing on the news about someone who was told by Blacktown Hospital (just after the still born went missing) to take iron tablets late in her pregnancy and the baby ended up dying in the womb. Did anyone else here this? Do you think too much iron could have caused that?
