Dark leafy greens, lean red meats, increasing your vitamin c a bit, also ask your doctor about a suppliment. They are gross and leave a metallic taste but could help.

Not sure about the reaction ill get to this but iv always been told to drink Guinness for low iron.  My college lecturer even told me to do it (I'm 25+4). Hope it helps x

If you like mint, chlorophyll is something easy. Just add it to your water. It tastes really good and it's not more pills to take.

You need vitamin c to absorb the iron so if you take supplements wash down with oj

Your doctor should have prescribed an iron supplement along with the prenatal vitamins. Make sure to take them, they can cause constipation so a stool softener is recommend to take with it. My prenatals have stool softener already in them. If they upset your stomach take them at bedtime, that works great for me. Other than that you'd need to eat more red meat, nuts, leafy greens, oatmeal, and raisins are high in iron.

Iron supplements although they are upsetting to the belly and cause constipation

[Jr_23]

Anything else besides that

[knufrio]

Red meat, green leafy vegetables, legumes. Also avoid milk with your meals as calcium inhibits iron absorption
