Iron Supplement Recs?
I’m 22 weeks and just found out severely anemic and have to take iron - I know this isn’t super uncommon, but the iron pills on top of HG are absolutely killing me. My HG symptoms had started to become a little more livable at 20 weeks, but this shit is taking me back square one in terms of nausea, in addition to requiring more MiraLAX to combat constipation, and WILD gas 😂😂😂 (My four year old is like “mommy why are you stinky???”
Does anyone have any specific recommendations? I’m reading that gentler formulas exist - does anyone have one they like? Honestly if it were just a risk to me, I’m at the point where I’d say screw it and not take iron supplements because it feels SO SO SO BAD - but my levels were low enough that it could hurt the baby if I don’t fix it, and I want this baby so so so so much.
Help!
