Your blood volume will begin to increase and will eventually double during pregnancy! Also, keep drinking *tons* of water, eat right and frequently, and have your doctor check the iron in your blood if he/she hasn't already!
can u take iron in the first trimester?
i was anemic with my DD last year and then had a major bleed due to infection so i know my iron levels arent well up there!!
I would talk to your doctor right away about that and have them check for anemia. I don't personally know about the safety of iron. I just followed my doctor's advice when he told me to take it. Since you've been anemic before, it's definitely worth asking about. Let me know what they say.
