Iron !?

Question

I am 32 weeks dr told me my lab work showed slight anemia and to take iron over the counter it has made me so constipated and continuously nausea can I take it every other day I am nurse work 3 12 hour shifts taking stool softener isn’t a good idea because I am so bussy at work and don’t have time in the day to be running to the bathroom any tips !?

Answer

I take a liquid iron that I got from a health food store....it doesn't give me any of the symptoms that pill form does and is pregnancy safe. It's called floravital.

Answer

What iron supplement is it? I have been given maltofer. Makes me feel sick half an hour after taking them but it passes. Otherwise no other issues.

Answer

Hemaplex!! Oh my word.
I’ve had severe recurring anemia since the age of 15, trust me when I tell you I have tried SO MANY different options, but the only thing that seemed to ever work was the over-the-counter sludge that made me feel sick (but at least I could breathe and not pass out once a week, so, it was worth it?)
We recently moved unexpectedly, so I had to find a new Midwife. I’m 36 weeks, and low on iron, and this new midwife (100% sent by God. I already love her to bits,) she suggested Hemaplex instead of the sludge.
Praise God for Hemaplex!! It has worked wonderfully so far!! And it doesn’t make me sick! It’s a capsule, so no more sludge, and I am so so happy! And you can get it on Amazon, I believe.
I really hope this helps!

Answer

this works wonders

Answer

Ask a pharmacyst.
After I asked something else, I was given (sadly quite expensive) iron supplement, that doesn't make me cosntipated at all, doesn't affect my digestion etc. That had a imal hemoglobin as in bulls blood in it. I couldn't stand the supplement, that had plant based ingridients on it.

Answer

I took it every other day and at bedtime when it gave me trouble last pregnancy.

Answer

Liquid iron helped me a lot!

Answer

Iron made me nauseous too, when I took it in the morning with all my other pills. I started taking it after lunch and it doesn't give me any nausea anymore! I actually haven't had too many issues with constipation from it, so I don't have any tips for you on that one 😓
