Iron Infusion?

Question

Yesterday my midwife asked me to keep trying my iron supplement for a week to see if my stomach will “get used to it”. She mentioned the option of iron infusion if I’m still throwing up next week. Has anyone done this? I have taken the pill with food and with orange juice to help absorb it but it hasn’t helped.

Answer

Tryand find a gummy vitamin of iron. Might be easier to absorb

Answer

I've been getting iron infusions since I was 22 weeks, I'm on infusion #6 now. I find them much easier to handle, they dont make you nauseous or mess with your system at all. The only down side is they take over an hour

Answer

If you can, try to ask for Ferralet 90! It’s the only iron supplement that my body accepts. It’s very gentle, and helps regulate absorption. 
But if you do need iron transfusions, they aren’t scary or a big deal at all. It’s just an IV, take a book or a friend or something to do/keep you busy.

Answer

I’m starting iron infusions next week for the next 5 weeks. I’m not very excited. Lol

Answer
