Iron supplements?

Question

My iron is low and although I've been eating iron rich foods like the sheet they gave me, my iron was still lower that my doctor wanted to see at my last appt. Has anyone safely taken iron supplements while pregnant? What brand?

Answer

My doctor had me start taking Ferrous Sulfate! 325mg once a day but I would maybe call them and ask what they recommend for you specifically😊

My blood work just came back for me GD test and it showed that I’m anemic! So I’ve been taking the slow release iron supplements 45mg. I feel a lot better. I just got the off brand at the store.

Florad is liquid iron is awesome! I became super anemic after my last miscarriage and this brought me back to life. Body absorbs it super quick since it’s in liquid form.

I just started some not long ago....mine are green. The pharmacist got them for me. 35mg once daily. All has been good so far no upset stomach or anything.

Answer

Yes, I had a really hard time with iron pills. They really upset my stomach. I switched to the liquid form called floradix and I love it. I get it from amazon and I take it with orange juice cuz it helps absorb it, I also started taking fiber cuz it can cause constipation.

Answer

I take iron pills due to being anemic. Just some over the counter. Spring valley brand I think.

Answer

I take Chelated Iron from Whole Foods every few days. I’m not low, but want to stay above the threshold to be able to birth at my birthing center
