Ever since the beginning of my pregnancy I have had trouble getting enough iron and it got to the point where I had to take iron pills. Well when my son was born I started to hemorrage and now I have been having spells where I will wake up sick and when I say sick I mean light headed, nauseous, really tired and my head starts to ache to the point where I feel like its going to crack open. My doctor says that I am anemic and when I told her about my sick spells she now wants to run tests.

Are you still taking the iron pills? If not, I wouldn't worry. Odds are you just need to be on the pills for a while so that your body can regroup. You were probably borderline anemic before you were pregnant.
