Iron deficiency

My doctor seems to be worried about me losing too much blood at birth.

He recommended I start taking iron tablets x once a day.

I’m 35 weeks. Has anyone else been told this so close to birth? Also, which ones are any of you ladies taking?

I’m really hoping to find one that will get my blood levels at a good place in such little time!

( I have been taking my prenatal with a little of iron throughout the pregnancy. Definitely not every day like I should be 😭 )
