Iron infusion?

Hey! Anyone here had a iron infusion in pregnancy? Currently 32weeks and midwife says my iron is very low.

Yes. I'm anemic and prefer them to taking iron supplements. No side effects, and I instantly felt great. I started early in pregnancy and went twice a month. I believe around 32 weeks I only went once before delivery and then once after birth

Quite a few times. The felt so much better after.

I'm glad you both felt better after, she's put me on tablets for the moment but has sent my results of to the hospital, i hope they say they can give me the infusion as I'm so tired, weak, and just over all feel ill

Yes! Then 1 week later I felt SO much better

I had to have 2 but after birth because I haemorrhaged and lost a lot of blood. They do make you feel better!

Yes I did, was fine and actually felt better afterwards, did 2 sessions

I too had it at 32 weeks

Yes, so amazing honestly!

Yep I had one at 34 weeks, I felt SO MUCH better within a couple days. I always get a skin reaction but it’s worth it 🤣

This definitely puts me at ease 😌 thankyou.

I'm anaemic and can't take the pills it gives me very bad side effects so every 6 months to a year I get iron infusion. I got it while pregnant and after. It's very quick just the flushing it takes long. You will be fine hun 😊

Yes I had one around 32 weeks (anaemic for 12 years) Took a few weeks to kick in but I’m 11 weeks PP now and iron levels are still good 👌 worth it 100%

I had to get 4 infusions (1 a week) with my second pregnancy.
