Just Tired: The Iron Deficiency Nobody Checked For

Exhaustion is the one symptom every pregnant woman reports, and nobody investigates. In this solo episode, Dr. Renda Knapp explains why iron deficiency is the most common — and most under-treated — problem she sees in obstetrics, and why a "normal" hemoglobin doesn't mean your tank is full. Inside: the one test you're probably not getting, the symptoms that aren't just pregnancy (yes, including the ice chewing), how to take iron so it actually works, when IV iron beats pills, and why postpartum is the half of this conversation everyone abandons. Stay healthy, stay suspicious.
