Anyone else anemic??

Question

I was told to start on iron supplements along with my prenatal. The doctor recommended Vitron C. I took one today and shortly thereafter I began to feel like complete crap! Weak, kind of nauseous and just not good overall. I definitely won’t be taking them again, I don’t have the energy to chase my toddler as it is! So what are you guys doing to up your iron??

Answer

My dr recommend Slow FE for an iron supplement.

Answer

I take my iron at night before bed to avoid the side effects !!

Answer

I was recently told I was anemic as well. I’m using blood builders by megafoods I have heard amazing things about them! Can’t say on day 2 if they are working, but I have no side effects.

Answer

I'm on Slow FE and it made me feel sick so I was told to eat with it and so far it seems to really help

Answer

I take the supplement Blood Builder from Amazon. Worked last pregnancy and I regret not taking it all along with this one. Other then that upped my beans, and leafy green intake, I  can't stomach meat so that's what I can do diet wise for now.

Answer

My doctor also recommended Slow Fe. I take it before bed and haven’t had any side effects.

Answer

I’m anemic. Haven’t talked to my doctor yet but I saw the results in my patient portal and knew I was due to symptoms I was having. I’m going to try really hard to eat iron rich foods and bring it up that way. I’m already on Zofran which messes up my stomach enough (due to HG) so I realllllly don’t want to go on another pill.

Answer

Yep just ever so slightly and it’s very normal during pregnancy 😊

Answer

My doctor has me taking iron supplements 3x daily with food to prevent upset stomach! I will say taking it three times a day is hard though

Answer

I have had to have two iron infusions this pregnancy. It’s made such a difference. I would ask your doctor if this is an option.
