Does any one know a good iron pill? Dr. Just told me I needed them at 29 weeks. I dnt even know if having anemia will hurt the baby.

    I was severely anemic at the beginning of my pregnancy. My doctor instructed me to take over the counter iron pills twice daily. I bought ferrous sulfate 65mg from walgreens and my Hemoglobin is perfect now.

    The name of them is Ferrous Sulfate...the walgreens brand. Yes, I took them with my prenatal vitamins

    I was prescribed iron during my first pregnancy, but can't remember the name of the prescription. I don't know anything about otc pills. Make sure you get some plum juice or a good laxative to go with the pills. They are definitely not a fun thing to deal with.
