GD test update

bridget0117

I had my GD test yesterday and I received a phone call just a few minutes ago from a weird number. When I heard it was from my doctors office, my heart almost fell out of my butt!!

Thank god the only thing that worried them is that I am anemic. They are prescribing me iron tablets and she said everything else looks great. 

I am so relieved and feel so much better. I just needed someone to tell because when I told DH he was just like okay.. Lol he doesn't get how nervous I was about the GD test.

 Thank you M

Glad to hear you passed but sorry they freaked you out with the phone call! Oh and remember if you are taking an iron supplement you might want to invest in some stool softeners and/or prune juice.

That would've freaked me out too! So glad you passed!

And ditto what wiggy said about prune juice or something along those lines. Also, take them after you eat, or even better, in the evening. That way you don't make yourself nauseous. I always get sick when I take vitamins or supplements in the morning.

Same thing happened to me during my last pregnancy and I had that moment of panic too.  But I second the softeners or at the very least upping your water intake.  Also make sure you are not taking them at the same time that you're taking calcium (or prenatals since they have calcium) as calcium will block/inhibit the iron absorption.
