I had my blood taken at my mw appt for 29 wks my results came back to show i have very low iron so got to pick up a prescription... Now i know why i have been feeling so tired and dizzy

Just a little word of advise,you need vit c in your system to help absorb iron so up your oj intake with your tablets(this should help any constipation iron tablets may cause too) hope you feel better soon xx

Thanks hun ill do that...

If you find the iron tablet/orange juice combo makes your stomach hurt or gives you acid reflux then the dissolvable vit c drinks do the same job!!

I had a massive blood loss during delivery (2.7 litres) and my haemaglobin levels dropped to 7 so I was also prescribed iron tablets but the one thing I highly recommend is getting yourself some spatone. It's amazing and each sachet is equivalent to eating 8lbs of broccoli xx
