Iron supplement

I just got done with my monthly pre-natal check-up today and everything went fine. I gained weight which is normal cause my baby is growing inside,also had the routine urine sample the result was ok too. Nurse pricked my finger to get a blood sample for my iron level and we just found out im a little low on iron or a little anemic, My OB-GYN explained that it happened to a lot of pregnant women cause the baby is getting iron from me so i need to add the iron to my body for both of me and my baby.

Lacking of enough iron for pregnant women can cause fatigue and headache which i experience but not aware of it. OB-GYN also said that my diet will consist of leafy vegetables and meat. Im just hoping that since im approaching on my third trimester that im going to have a smooth sailing pregnancy and not to have this as a start of a difficult last 3 months.

Child Birth Classes

I have reach my 26th week of my pregnancy and its the time also that i have to schedule us for child birth class but until now we are still thinking twice if we are going to do it or not, I heard to some people that its OVER-RATED especially if you are going to have C-SECTION. I remember when i was still in the philippines i dont know anymom who went to those classes and still they had a safe and healthy delivery.

The fee is $60 its a one day 8 hour class.

What do you think mommies? Is it really super important?
