Anyone had a blood transfusion? How quickly will I feel better afterwards?

I am severely anaemic and in my 35th week of pregnancy and having a blood transfusion later on today. How long should it be before I feel more human like? Anybody had one during pregnancy and can offer advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Donna.

u will feel a lot better like an hour after but i think it depends i had mine after i gave birth my doctor was on vacation and he never told me during the visits that i had anemia i had had it before so he thought i knew after my c-section i was so weak i fainted and then i had the blood transfusion it really helps soon after it brought my levels up from a 6 to i think a 10 or something my baby was also born with anemia he is all better now though wish you luck with your baby

Is it a true blood transfusion or is the Iron infusion done with an IV? I've never had a blood transfusion before but I am severely anemic as well and I have had one the Iron ones done before. It's pretty quick... By the end of the day I was feeling better and it lasted a LONG time. It was wonderful.

Not sure if that was it but thought I would interject just in case. 35 weeks! You're almost there!! :) Lucky!!

You should begin to feel better shortly afterward, like thirty minutes. Also eat beets and lots of protein to build your blood back up.

You will then never be able to donate blood or organs or any other body part.
