Low iron

Anytime I take any tablet or syrup that includes iron I’m sick Iv stopped for the last 4 days and the sickness I felt before has dramatically reduced

@Olayinka im just afraid to stop as it could lead to needing a blood transfusion after birth 😟

Do you take them with orange juice ? That can help x

I get sick off iron tablets. Just stopped taking them - but my blood iron levels were never of concern.

Also I would speak to your midwife. If you need the iron but are just throwing them up - you are going through hell and they won’t be working xxx there might be something else they can give you. And talk you through the risks (we don’t know your results :) )

I wasn’t able to tolerate the tablets but desperately needed iron before birth as my levels were extremely low. I ended up having an iron infusion as couldn’t take the tablets so may be worth asking your midwife x

I take iron and vitamin c pills I take them with just water and eat immediately after I normally prep my food then take the medicine with water then eat it helps with feeling nauseous cause if I drink it with juice or I don’t eat after I tend to feel nauseous
