My OB told me my iron levels are 13.8 so my iron is good.. She told me to continue my prenatal vitamins and to start…

Like extra iron? No. Your prenatals have iron and unless you’re low, your body is producing a good amount!

@candacelouise13, not necessarily. I have a severe iron deficiency and I get iron infusions every few weeks on top of preNatals. Sometimes your body doesn't absorb iron from the iron rich foods you consume

If your iron levels are good then no you don’t need to take iron supplements

@candacelouise13 I ask because with my 1st two pregnancies I was taking Iron as well.. So I wasn't sure.

@tasticmel have you ever been told to take fish oil supplements? This is the 1st I've been told this

@campey, they told her her iron was fine, as of now.

@mommybug, yeah I’d they it’s okay for now don’t start any. May get lower as you get further along and they will call in an iron supplement for you.

13.8 is not low. Your doctor will let you know if it is low. Too much iron is a bad thing to. Don’t take it if you don’t need the extra.

@candacelouise13 I wouldn't take it without her consent but I side tracked and didn't ask because I had to take them for my 1st 2.. Just curious if 13.8 was high enough to not take any..

@candacelouise13, I read your initial response all wrong. Sowwy

@mommybug, the prenatal vitamins I buy also comes with a bottle of fish oil so I take it as well.
