test results

I sent Dr. Busingye a text today asking if he had received my lab results.
Low iron. Boo. 
He hasn't received any of the other results yet {like the GBS or urine analysis}. 
So we'll see. 
I'll probably have to go on some sort of iron supplements, but in the meantime, I should probably be more diligent to take my prenatal vitamins, yes? Yes. 
My bad.

    1. Yeah. Folic acid I think is what is highly recommended for preggers. I think that's the same as folate.

  3. yeah, I second Beth's comment. you can TEXT your doctor??? Mine requires a phone call at specific hours, not including lunches, no voicemails and at least 2 weeks notice for an appointment! Uganda - I am impressed.

    Boo on the low iron though. Spinach Spinach Spinach. Why do you need to be more diligent on the prenatals? Are you not currently taking a vit daily? Tsk tsk dear friend. Getting on it right away should help though. But spinach is a good one, so are eggs. keep us posted! Love ya.

  6. Yeah, it really is! And thanks for the comment! It reminded me to text my doctor again tomorrow morning and hopefully get some results! :) I'm more of a texter myself than a phone person so it suits me just perfectly!
