I have low iron and am currently taking iron sachets they are by spatone you can get them from boots.com
They are great I'm having 2 a day at the moment you just pour the liquid in some juice and drink it's great, makes me feel a lot better

It can also be caused by low blood pressure which is a totally normal pregnancy symptom... i get the same and its horrible! xx

Some of this is normal is pregnancy but I had it too, very badly and was told that I am very anemic and I had to start taking iron pills. I think they have helped quite a bit!

But something that I didn't know and was told at my last appt. was to NOT take the iron pills with milk or any dairy because it will not absorb in your body well and if you are taking a prenatal vitamin, be sure and take the prenatal in the morning and the iron pill at night or vice versa, just do not take them both at the same time.

I had this in my last pregnancy and am having it again now. For me it was caused by low blood pressure and an iron deficiency. I was put on iron tablets which helped slightly. But I know it's not very nice, I used to have full on black outs where I'd be out shopping walking around with my husband when all of a sudden my hearing would go, I'd feel hot and dizzy and the next thing I'd open my eyes and I'd be on the floor!

If I was you I'd give your midwife a call and arrange to have your blood pressure checked and a blood test for your iron levels. Both low blood pressure and anaemia are common in pregnancy so don't worry. But best toget checked out.

I have it too. I've been anemic in the past due to a hereditary condition I have which sometimes causes me too bleed internally, but this time my ferritin levels are good and my heamaglobin is good so I guess its down to blood pressure, mines usually quite low, bottom number was 60 last time I went. I'd watch with iron supplements the cause constipation, a not so nice side effect x

that's feeling faint. you get a cloud of dark over your eyes just before you're about to faint, get up slowly instead and try to drink more, being dehydrated brings blood pressure down and also eating. It's common in pregnancy. if you feel like your really about to pass out then sit or lay down quickly, you dont want to fall and cause baby or yourself any harm.
