anyone here anemic? my OB prescribed me iron and I keep throwing them up :( idk what to do at this point

It's actually not that bad but I've been getting them since I was 16.

I'm worried about that! @twinmamma2015 and I'll have to buy oj and try that @sarahemccormick

I don't absorb iron so I have to get IV's of iron.

take them with a glass of OJ

Im taking 325 mg Ferrous sulfate, delayed release 2x a day, once in the AM and once at night

🙋 over here

no problem hun :-)

@brafordfamily22, it sucks! @mumof2 yeah I know. I have an appointment Monday I'll talk to him :) thank you so much

yeah because its for u not baby the baby will be fine. when iron is low it can cause problems for u when you deliver like u can bleed out so you should try a diet with iron in it. my problem was I couldn't eat any meat pregnant so that's why I tried it in different ways....

@mumof2, hmm I'll try that :)

because I had same issue and just found things I could eat to help get iron in me my Dr said it was fine as long as I could keep it down and try to eat it everyday. so I would eat cream of wheat peanut butter crackers and drank lots of orange juice this helped alot more than you would think any iron is better than none

I usually can until I take that dang pill lol @mumof2

can you keep any food down???

I agree with @lilchicken, try them before bedtime, I'm anemic, bad & the iron pills made me sick to my stomach as well, taking them Before bed is a lot better :)

@lilchicken,

Yeah couldn't sleep made me super nauseous

have you tried taking them before bedtime?
