So my doctor got my results back. Blood pregnancy test was positive(that was a duh moment) and apparently I'm anemic and my iron is low. I do have to go to the store for this one medication, and trying to figure out what would be easier: fruits and veggies, or taking a supplement of iron a day just to be on the safe side. Needless to say, I'm a little worried since I'm already 8 weeks along. So praying my baby will be okay until I get my iron rechecked in a month.

ok when u sign up they will most likely check ur weight iron etc and if it measures low they should give u the paper at least thats what they did for me, i liked it : )
@miya.mommy93, I plan on going to WIC once I have my ultrasound Fri and signing up for it. And that's neat that it tells you what helps with what. I know it states what food to get, but didn't know it had that on the paper. And @d_ryan, I plan on it.
I've always had issues with being anemic while pregnant. Just get iron pills
i had issues with iron during pregnancy while they told me about iron supplements I got papers from WIC telling me what foods and what to pair together to build iron up! i know fish and chicken were on there and for thr smaller things it suggested drinkin a small glass of oj with
@dawn.sander, Yeah. I been anemic for awhile. And the doc did warn me that I may get constipated (which is fine by me. It'd be a change from having loose stools for over three months). But I will definitely keep that in mind. ^•^
Ive been anemic my whole life, I recommend just taking the iron supplements but make sure you eat looooots of fiber cause they can make you really constipated.
fruits and veggies don't have much iron. cook in cast iron pans, meats and some greens, chlorophyll and blood builder are good
they can give you prenatals with iron in them
