Here I am once again.
IRON . my life is revolving around this word 24/7.Iam thirty two weeks pregnant but and been on very good doses of Iron from five weeks but so far not noticeable improvement.
when I had blood tests at 27th week Hemoglobin was 104 but Iron levels were pretty low.
(This week Ob told me it seems Iron has dropped further.)

Since then Iam taking 10 mls of Floradix twice a day ( it works for two to three hours and then Iam again drain till I have next dose) and one Fefol at night with OJ and taking care of all elements for best Iron absorption.

But I am still ghostly yellow. dizzy, fainting, my lips turned chocolate brown and palms are so pale. i can't walk for more then even 5 minutes it drains my all energy which is already nonexistent.

Please guide me what I do. Doctors seems so unconcerned.every time they ask me to increase the dose but don't bother why these all tabs are not working.

I can't increase doses of Floradix its really very pricey and I can't afford more than a bottle a month.I really need some affordable solution.

I am sick of this all low energy and fainting period.While writing this I am crying Iam so unhappy with this all situation I so want to be energetic like other preggo women.

I wonder why docs don't consider Iron injections? are they very expensive? or have side effects.
Just depressed and very unhappy mum to be.
