iron low

trina0222

So my ob\gyn called me about my blood test and told me everything is ok but my iron is very low. So now I have to take a iron pill. Should I be worried , I'm started to stress out I'm 27 weeks pregnant.

no dont be worried. just make sure you are eating protein and taking your pills. other than that you should be ok.

I'm on iron pills too! Also spinach had lots of iron . Just take your pills and everything erik work itself out! Besides stressing isn't good for you or your little passenger!

Yea that's what my ob\gyn said but I still feel a little scared . But your right about taking my pills and eating protein.

My iron was low as well. Instead of the pills they prescribed, I am taking blackstrap molasses (along with eating iron-rich foods and taking an organic prenatal vitamin). It's one of the best natural sources of iron, and it doesn't cause constipation!

It's really not a big deal, don't stress. I'm taking an iron pill as well, along with a vitamin d tablet, magnesium tablet and my prenatal.
