Iron is just minerals their good for u and baby no worries just take them and all will be good :) I had anemia before I was pregnant because of my vegetarianism. Iron allows your blood to have more oxygen in it. All that good oxygen in your blood will even give you more energy :D

No, it's doesn't hurt baby at all. You honestly need it if your anemic. I have history of anemia before pregnancy, and was prescribed 2 pills a day. And when I got pregnant, the doctor said I should just continue them. Take them it helps alot. From someone who dealt with serious & chronic anemia all my life, the symptoms are BITCHHH. The pills helps a lot!

Anemia is very common in pregnancy and additional iron will help bump your blood levels.  

Don't worry - you're fine.  ;D  You'll probably start to feel a little bit more energetic and less breathless in a couple weeks.
