Woowoo! Got my gestational diabetes test results back today and I am in the clear. What a relief! I am however, anemic. What are the odds of Snickers bars being involved in rectifying this situation?
Yeah that is so not going to happen. I already had to switch to a prenatal vitamin with less iron. I did some research and I am going to try eating more foods that increase iron absorption and less foods that interfere with absorption. Turns out whole grains could be working against me here. Being pregnant is WEIRD!
Oh yes I am quite sure that snickers are a cure for anemia. They cured mine, anyway. Oh wait, I wasn't anemic. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I had to take iron supplements too. They are all kinds of fun on your digestive system (read: pooping soon to be even less fun).
