My doctor just saw today that I'm anemic from my blood work. She told me to take an iron supplement. Going to go to target tomorrow and pick a supplement up 👍

Answer

Just take an iron supplement

Answer

Just get a iron supplement. Cheap, pregnancy safe, and you're fine

Answer

Get some at the pharmacy. You don't need a prescription but it's still good to ask your doctor how much they want you to be taking. I take 300mg of ferrous sulphate every day and it's made a huge difference for me. Make sure to get some that have vitamin c built in or to buy vitamin c to take with it. Vitamin c helps your body absorb iron.

Answer

If your dr told you that your anemic you should be taking a iron supplement. 
I was anemic in my pregnancy and had to take iron supplement even after I gave birth until it went away.

Answer

I became anemic, I drink a breakfast drink that has like 50 something percent iron, and have been craving and eating beans which are high in iron. As well as getting iron in my cereal.... I still have to take the iron supplements and some days it's still isn't enough but definitely helps!
