Ladies that were diagnosed with anemia during pregnancy I have a question for you. I used to be anemic when I was very little but never had issues up until now. During my appointment today my doctor wanted to recheck my levels for it and I found out they are even lower then last time. Is there anything I can do or request for them to do? I have tried eating more iron rich foods and took iron pills but neither are working for me!

They may have to end up doing iron injections. I've heard taking vitamin c with the pills helps with the absorption

@eaj8290 they wanted me to go to a place before an receive iv treatments but I couldn't afford to travel there 2 times a week especially with it being 45 minutes away!

They have iron pills called chromagen, works like a charm!! Had the same problem when I was pregnant

Unfortunately if your body isn't absorbing enough through food and supplements, that's your only option

@ashleypreziosi248 I will have to call my doctor tomorrow and ask her about them. Thank you! Did you have any issues with them? The iron pills I took even with orange juice just made me throw up and very tired and miserable.

I have a friend who was anemic for a long time, she went through so many different treatments until she found out herself it was a vitamin k deficiency that caused her to be anemic. once she started introducing vitamin k into her diet she stopped being anemic. So maybe see if what you have is actually a vitamin k deficiency before continuing with the iron pills- those are extreme as an iron intake and really intense on the body hence why it makes you sick

If neither work the doctor will prescribe you pills. If over the counter iron pills and food filled with iron is not working. I was like that with my last pregnancy and I literally lived off of black bean soup. 🤷🏻♀️ not ideal but got enough iron in so they won’t have to prescribe me anything.

@scam822 the doctor has already prescribed pills before and they didn't help at all. They just made me sick and drop my levels even more.

@keelygeedy, I had absolutely no trouble with them, they're just big and the after taste isn't too great. But they work really good! I would definitely recommend chromagen for any anemic mommy out there
