Extremely low iron

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant.

My hemoglobin levels are between 6-7, and my ferritin level tested today at a 2 (yes, 2). What complications could arise during delivery because of this? This is also a vba2c attempt, so i could end up with a csection.

I'm going to weekly IV iron infusions, but the hematologist I'm seeing is saying that my hemoglobin level will only be up to an 8 (hopefully 9, but unlikely) by the time I deliver.

For the record, I FEEL fine. Honestly. A little out of breath, but I still have the energy to keep up with two preschoolers while hugely pregnant lol.

I'm sorry, but the answers you need are beyond the scope of a nursing message board. Please check with your OB-GYN and hematologist; they know you, and as physicians, they are the ones best qualified to assess your situation and provide you with health information.

Best of luck to you, and be well.
