Need help.

[dnmj5313]

I'm 26 weeks pregnant, this is my first preg, and almost everyday I get super light headed and feel like I am going to pass out. My doctor says my iron is low it's like 9.6 and its supposed to be like 11. I take an iron vitamin everyday but I don't know what to do it happens all the time usually while I'm standing doing stuff. Anyone else have this or know what will help ? Please.

One pill may not be enough I started off with two a day. Then switch to one after a couple of weeks. It might make you constipated but it's better than fainting.

Ok at first I thought it was dehydration. She is just taking so much out of me, im so tired all the time. Im so over being pregnant already.

I had the same.  It definitely is the iron level. Along with the pills try to eat as much iron rich food you can. My midwife also recommended that I eat high fat and salt content. Haha what a great suggestion I thought!also for 2 weeks you could have 2 iron pills a day then cut down to 1. That's what I was told to do. :)
