So ive been having to take iron pills the past two weeks because my iron is really bad. And they made me really sick one morning. I'm 7 months pregnant and don't get morning sickness anymore, but aside from that, every morning after I wake up and eat breakfast my heart rate increases. it only happens then. the rest of the day I'm perfectly fine. does anyone know what this might be a sign of? can it wait to ask my doctor in a few weeks or should I go to the ER?

I know iron helps with blood supply which in turn helps bring oxygen. When my anemia kicks in (iron level low) I get shortness of breathe, my heart rate increases and I'm really fatigue. Have you tried taking the iron supplements at night before you go to bed? I do that with a cup of oj (vitamin c helps absorb iron) and a few tums (heart burn from the oj lol) also, caffeine -even in chocolate, will throw your iron out of whack.
