I am at loss here... My iron is so low to the point my doctor told me I have to get it up or there will be a high possibility of having to get a blood transfusion after birth. They gave me a huge list of foods high in iron and a lot of it I'm either allergic to or can't stomach at all. I wasn't able to take my prescribed prenatals as I am allergic to sulfates but I was able to find an over the counter all natural sulfate free prenatal with Iron but I'm not sure if taking those will do the job getting my iron up. This honestly just stresses me out so much 😔
Ohhh wowww, I have a low iron issuse too. Tomorrow I have appointment, I hope they don't tell me that. Try taking the pills with iron and then add the food you can eat that has a little iron in it with every meal. That should help and don't eat ice. Especially if you craving it stay away from ice that can make it worse.so of you craving ice, try ur best not to give in. @hhmariah for some reason us females, A lot of us have iron issues, my little girls all have issues with that. I stay having to give them vitamins with Iron 😕 and sometimes that still don't bring it up much so I have to give foods that got iron in it. Try smoothies with spinach in it (put your favorite fruits in it) ****
Just curious what prenatals y'all are taking. Everyone I burp or get heartburn I can taste the iron in my vitamin and it's not helping with my morning sickness at all.
I am so stressed right now!!!
My OB doesn’t want to take me anymore because I am too “high risk” so I got a new one they don’t want to see me either. They referred me to a group one hour way from my house. But there is only one high risk dr and he doesn’t know if he could see me.
I feel like I should not see any at this point.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Ive been taking my prenatal vitamins thats prescribed to me by my doc. but the problem is its hard for me to swallow, idk if its bc im thinking about it or what? but everytime i take it , it gets stuck in my throat and then when it finally goes down my stomach gets upset & I throw it up ..... & my nurse told me one time I didnt have enough iron. is their any other vitamins i can take that has Iron in it.
I take the slow FE brand of iron because I get really nauseous from taking iron but my iron is also pretty low. You're not alone! From what I'm told it's common in pregnancy. Try not to stress too much about it, just take some breaths and do some research ask your dr exactly how much you need and work it out 🤗 best of luck
