Hey, mummies! Have you ever been in a position where you couldn’t help but notice how tired you feel from iron deficiency anaemia?
As life expanded and motherhood became part of the story, tiredness stopped asking permission and began to linger.
It makes you wonder: When did feeling exhausted stop being a signal and start becoming an identity?
The thing is, this isn’t the kind of tiredness that makes you take the day off.
It follows you through mornings and afternoons, seeping into routines you know by heart.
In other words, you still function, you still show up and you still manage everything that needs to be done, which is perhaps why it’s so easy to dismiss.
But motherhood has a way of quietly recalibrating what endurance looks like.
Why Having Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Motherhood Demands More from the Body
Behind the surface of everyday normalcy, the body is doing far more than it appears.
During pregnancy, blood volume increases and nutrient demands rise.
After birth, recovery begins even as energy continues to be directed outward into caring for another life. Long after the early months pass, the body continues adjusting to its new baseline.
Throughout this process, iron plays an important role, supporting oxygen transport to body tissues and energy production.
Yet with iron deficiency anaemia, low energy, dizziness, headache or breathlessness can become so familiar that they no longer register as signs worth paying attention to. It becomes “just tired”.
Once tiredness feels normal, seeking support no longer feels necessary until that support begins to cause discomfort.
Many women take iron supplements for iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy.
Stomach discomfort can make something meant to support wellbeing difficult to continue.
However, consistency matters, particularly during stages of life when nutritional needs are higher.
