Are they really sore?
Or is it just like any other injection in the bum, like a bruised sort of feeling for a bit after? Thanks :) ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I asked this question when i was pregs with bella as I was going to ahve to have some. Aparently you just have a sore butt for a while 
I ended up in hospital though having an iron infusion, on a drip for 6 hours having it pumped in, that was ouchies  Id have much rather had the jabs lol(they wouldnt let me tho)------------- |

Yeah I'm at the point where I'm feeling so crap I just don't care if my bum hurts, I want the levels up asap!
My stupid doctor is mucking around about prescribing them for me because she thinks they will be too sore?? Plus, I'd rather avoid any extra constipation and the tablets are just going to make that worse. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I had to have five iron injections after DD was born, I had them over the course of two weeks.
The first time I cried before they gave it to me as I was feeling so rough. But it didn't hurt at all. They do warn you though that it can stain your skin. I was ok on all five though. Doesn't hurt :) disco |
