Yay passed my glucose test but I'm anemic so gotta get some iron pills my midwife suggested and she…

you can naturally get iton from eating enroched foods, like cereal, rice, and etc. Spinach is a fab source of iron, too.

That's the problem I can only eat certain foods I've been eating cereal, rice once in a blue,meat can't do and spinach I have with a soup my husband makes but other than that with this pregnancy it hasn't been so easy to eat what I need to eat 😕 @sarahemccormick I heard those iron pills make you constipated 😖

@mrscaldwell6, oh ok, I see...and I totally understand. I was super sick from everything I atr the first trimester. Yes, the iron pills can make you constipated and also nauseated. But, you can add something like wheat germ or metamucil (ask your doctor) to your diet and it can help with the constipation, plus fiber one snack bars - they always do the trick. As far as nausea goes, you might be able to take a lower dose iron supplement if you feel sick, be sure to ask your doc!

Thanks Hun I'm gonna have hubby pick up a few things to try @sarahemccormick

ask your doc about getting ferralet 90. those are the iron pills I used and they have a stool softner in it along with other vitamins. but also cream of wheat is a great source of iron and calcium :)

She suggested these 325mg but I will look for those I'm gonna make me some cream of wheat in a few thanks Hun @alymomma

you're welcome! I liked the 90s better and I've got severe anemia so I've tried tons. but I do believe you need a prescription. but look into it! and I actually think I might make some too it sounds good with some toast lol :)

Oh ok I'll call my midwife and ask her yes I'm having some now 😊 @alymomma
