My ob's nurse called me today to inform me that I'm anemic and need to take iron supplements.
This is actually good news, because the blood test that determined that I'm anemic was also my gestational diabetes test. And since she didn't say anything about my blood sugar, clearly I'm not diabetic. I would much rather have some minor like anemia than gestational diabetes. Taking another vitamin pill is no big deal; checking my blood sugar several times a day and following a diabetic diet would be.
So I'm relieved on that front. And I did a little research and discovered that anemia can cause insomnia, so maybe there'll be some relief on that front as well!
