I mean, you CAN call them if something is wrong, of course.
But, generally speaking they operate upon the no news is good news policy.
So when they called me Tuesday...after having my glucose test...
I got scared!
The very good news is I passed my glucose test. The news they wanted to share was that my hemoglobin levels were low and I needed to add more iron to my routine. Although my prenatal has iron, Dr. wants me to get 65 units more daily from a supplement. This definitely explains the extreme fatigue I've been feeling plus some weird bruising (I'm not a bruiser normally).
I picked up an iron supplement called "Gentle Iron" by Solgar. My doctor recommended I take the pill with citrus to help absorption, so I grabbed a single serve bottle of Cuties juice. He also directed me to take it at the opposite time of day as my prenatal. So thankful there's an explanation to why I was having a hard time staying awake during the day!
