Ive been on them for about 1 1/2 months because they said my iron was low and i became anemic. gross symptom is even worse constipation but thats it.
i have low iron as well. my doctor said to take 3 iron supplement a day so i take one in the morning another in the afternoon and then one at night. thats because my iron is super low but the brand i take is spring valley iron supplement 65mg and my baby is fine. im 39w&6d. if you are not sure what brand just ask your doctor. how that helped.
No they just told me that I could get them on my own at a store. So I'm gonna ask whats the best ones to take while pregnant. They also told me to take Colace for the constipation.
I have low iron,my doctor just told me to go the store and buy iron suplements ,nothing special.I bought a walgreens store brand bottle.and they don't harm the baby,its just like taking vitamins.
They didn't offer to write you a prescription? I've been on iron supplements 2x's a day since 29 weeks but my doctor called me in a prescription, I would just call and ask what they think you should get!!
Oh okay, because they just told me I needed to take some but never said which was best for me to take. Just want to be cautious with things while I'm still pregnant. Thank you for responses!!
I had it bad to the point of almost passing out. I couldn't take the pills cause I always threw up aftet taking it and got real sick. So I drunk Welchers grape juice, and more veggies. And liver helps A LOT if you eat it. Try peanut butter.
They are just iron supplements.
I just started taking it at 30 weeks because a blood test showed I had low iron. It's common during pregnancy because the baby takes up all of our nutrients. It doesn't harm the baby and just like she said it does make us kinda constipated
They just started me on them I have 4 weeks left. But I'm having a c-section so its just a precautionary cause I'm slightly anemic, it doesn't effect baby but will make you constipated.
