The nurse practitioner I'm seeing looked over my blood tests and says I'm extremely anemic. She said my iron levels are perfect, and listed off a bunch of other stuff and said they're good too (maybe a possible b12 deficiency). I do have Lupus and I am assuming it has something to do with that. She has me going to a specialist as soon as possible.
My only concern is how this is affecting the baby? My hemoglobin is very low (106 I believe). I asked her if it will have any bad effects on the baby, and she said the baby will take what it needs but I'll be left feeling very weak. Is this true? I was very very late getting my blood work (24 weeks) and I just got the results today (26 weeks) so there is a chance I could have been anemic through-out the whole pregnancy.
I'm obviously concerned about myself, but I'm really only worried about the baby. I would hate to think that this would have a really adverse affect on her.
