I've started eating partially rehydrated apricots (because they're easier to eat than the really dry ones!) but I have no idea how many I need to be eating a day to make an impact on my iron levels.
I take a supplement too but I'm trying to avoid iron deficiency like with my last pregnancy as taking ferrous fumarate gives me constipation and I'm struggling enough as it is already with just good old pregno constipation.
I'm chomping my way through about 20 a day but what's the point if it turns out you need to be eating 5 kilograms to make a difference 😂 I believe it takes a good 6 weeks for blood to regenerate so it's a long term thing to make a difference.
Anyone got any clue? 😊
