Hgb levels and PRBC transfusions...

I'm sure you'll soon have some replies about future successful pregnancy experience from others who know first-hand details.

I just wanted to suggest that you should talk to your doc about posssible need for PRBC transfusions. You may be able to function well with even lower levels of Hgb; however, the usual recommendation in Ontario is 90 and above - no transfusion; 1 unit between 80 -89; 2 units between 70-79; and 3 units under 70.
