So this might be a little TMI but my doctor wanted me to start taking iron so I am. Not because there is anything wrong with my iron actually my iron is very good but I am pregnant with twins so he doesn't want to chance it getting low or anything. But seriously I had the worst time pooping. I know guys I'm sorry again but has anyone else had or have this problem?

I didn't take any extra iron when I was pregnant with twins. I just took the prenatal vitamins. I was borderline anemic before and with just the vitamins I was fine when they would test it!

you will. too much iron can make you constipated.

I'm on iron because of anemia with my pregnancy and I had to get on something for the constipation! It stinks!

They just don't want me to become anemic because I have a family history of it. But it sucks. It hurt so bad. I take prenatal as well but my iron levels are fine so I might just start taking less of them. @cou_smith36 @kayloniandkaismommy @m.bullock

@twinveaches, I have a blood disorder that makes me anemic so I can't have too much iron. but my doc said that it will make you constipated if you have too much

Apple juice works awesome like the above ladies said! & yeah I have a huge family history with it so I was bound for it genetically

Prenatal vitamins plus iron rich foods should be enough, even with twins. But you know your body best!

I had the same problem, my Dr said you can take fiber but only a certain type while pregnant so she let's me take Metamucil I buy it in packets and have it either in a juice or my smoothie lady will blend it in, it helps me.. also try upping your intake of leafy greens if you can, again blending them in a smoothie you don't taste it at all! good luck girl I know it's painful... here's hoping you don't get hemorrhoids down the line!
