I started taking them but the beginning of my second trimester I got an allergic reaction to the iron pill and to the pregnancy pill which has iron in it. I had to get pregnant pills without iron. It was a horrible rash, so now I just have to eat natural iron in my meals

I am. My iron was really low, i started taking them in feb. I take one in the morning & prenatal at night. Now i'm 30+2 & my iron has improved. I have way more energy!

I have been taken Iron pills since I got pregnant.  It actually gave me energy. The thing I hated though is that it changed the color of my stool to black* which indicates that the pills worked* . My midwife told me to take it with an empty stomach and flush it with any juice. Also I take my iron in the morning and prenatal at night cause she didn't want me to take it together. I didn't ask why. Right now my iron level is pretty normal. Good luck to you.
