Test results

Test results came back today....I do not have gestational diabetes, but I am severely anemic....Ughh. I have to take iron supplements 3 times a day! If any of you have ever been in this situation you will know that iron pills (especially this dose) WILL lead to constipation...So I am upping my water intake, and I will have to take some stool softeners..(Sorry for being so blunt!) I am so not excited about this.....I had to do this with Logan as well, and while I tried like hell to take the iron pills 3 times a day like I was told, it only lasted two weeks, then I told my doctor that I could only handle two a day! I have decided that I am only going to take 1 a day for the first 4 days and then move up to two for another 4 to five days and try to go up to 3 a day, but we will see! I am also going to up my green leafy veggies, red meats, and any other food that is rich in iron as well as taking all of this with orange juice for better absorption!!!! If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share them with me....
