The midwife the other day told me I need to up my iron levels . When I had my GD test, they obviously did a FBC (full blood count) and my level was 90 something.
She told me they like it at the very minimum - 100.
So she's given me a list of foods to eat. But she's told me if I still have low iron, that I'll have to have a cannula in during labour.
What is the cannula for? Will it be attached to an IV? What is the need of it?
