@jordanrwilliams25 im gone try orange juice... An see how it works me... Because my Obgyn didn't tell me nothing they just said I need to take these till I give birth an I looked online and it said it makes you sick
If orange juice is too much on you because it is acidic then get vitamin c vitamin pills but try the orange juice first so far it's ok for me
But yeah even if you don't drink the whole cup ..I don't .. I take two swallows of orange juice when I swallow the iron pill and stick it back in the fridge and eat at least a bite or two of something anything
@aria_daddy07 they should have told you same thing as me because some pills you need other vitamins in some sort to balance out what you take ..you can't just take pills and expect them to work .not all work or are good for you especially if not taken properly my mom has vitamins for Everything but I believe more in fruits and foods you eat I take it because I have to my whole pregnancy as well but drs just say it will help but medicine drains and affects the body in many ways and every body is different .. even when I have her I'm sure I won't let her take everything prescribed .. that's how people go downhill fast over time especially mixing meds they put so many unhealthy actual ingredients in them now .. just like cancer patients.. we lost my mother in law last September and she was on about 8-10 different meds but no real nutrition and needed assets comes from them just more pain and sickness
@jordanrwilliams25 okay I'ma get me some from store today. I told my Obgyn and they said it's nothing they can do I still have to take Dem up in till I have BBY
If it doesn't use no acid orange juice .. sometimes the acid in fruits and orange juice gets to me for a sec but I swear it works drs told me it's my first time on them
@jordanrwilliams25 okay cool cuz I don't want to take it n get sick at work..lol
@aria_daddy07 yes AND either a vitamin c pill ...OR sip orange juice it literally makes you absorb it better .. my Dr and the pharmacy told me when I picked it up ... You can sip the orange with it you don't have to drink a whole cup but that is important
@jordanrwilliams25 that's the same on I'm taking... So just need to eat something before taking it cool gotta it
@texxie I haven't start taking them because I don't wanna get sick at work and I have to end up leaving
I have to take 1 a day ... You're supposed to take them with a vitamin c pill or glass of orange juice to help it absorb like it's supposed to and eat a little bite of something first
@blessedmommy-2 same here told me today too...
But I looked online and it said he can make you sick...
I haven't started taking them yet.. because I don't want it to make me sicks
@aria_daddy07, not that I know of. Although I have been having some stomach problems off and on lately. Are yours making you sick?
@aria_daddy07, yea I started taking them at night before bed it kinda helps
@aria_daddy07, I had a lot of food adversions so I ate a lot of the same iron rich foods such as shrimp, red meat, baked potatoes, broccoli, eggs, and cereal. Lots and lots of cereal 😂 and to help iron absorption you need vitamin C. I was lazy and just drank orange juice every day with my eggs. And sometimes taking Vitamin c gummies.
They can cause an upset stomach. I always made sure to take with food and it helped a lot.
I’m supposed to take them but I don’t always do. They make me constipated even tho I take colace with them. I try to get more iron supplemented foods to make up for not taking them everyday
I had to with my last pregnancy. Idk if you are having issues with them or not. But I did. She wanted me to take them 3x a day and I couldn’t. I would get leg cramps so bad I couldn’t even walk or move. So I ended up just changing my diet and taking an iron pill 1x a day because I was getting the cramps just walking around. My labs got better and then after baby went back to normal. And I dont have anemia this pregnancy.
@aria_daddy07 yeah just give it a try 💓
