So I think I'm anemic, I haven't been to my OB for a few months& I have all of the signs, pale skin, tired all the time, shortness of breath, rapid heattbeat &sometimes trouble concentrating. I don't have an appointment scheduled until late January. Is it safe to take iron pills when pregnant? Or should I just eat a lot of red meat, seafood, poultry..things like that until I'm able to get checked? I'm due March 16, so I only have like 2& a half months left.
