A member asked:
I am 27 weeks pregnant, i was told that my iron is low, what does this affect and could this effect labor ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Your iron being low means you are anemic, that's all. Most pregnant women become anemic and are told to take iron supplements. talk with your doctor about this. No, it has no effect on labor, but you will become more anemic when you deliver.
