    I had exactly the same as what you describe and I told the Obs I was feeling really tired all the time, they found out that even though I was taking the pregnancy vitamins, I was still deficient in Iron. Now I have to take Iron Tablets along with my normal preg tablets. Make sure you get the ones that have vitamin C combined with them so your body can absorb them.

    The obs said that the normal pregnancy tabs dont have enough Iron in them so extra tablets are recommended.

    Hi
    Ive been on iron tablets for a while now and the dr told me the same thing that the preg vitamins are good but dont have enough iron in them.ive found that they have helped slightly with the tiredness.dr also said that it takes quite a few weeks for the iron to store in the body so it good to take them so you have enough for later when the baby starts to reallly take it off you.
    Is anyone getting aches near their ribs or back and having trouble sleeping?
    Im 19 weeks now and having 20 week scan on wed so a bit nervous as i dont feel that big considering im having twins and tend to only feel movement every now and then especially at night.Has anyone else had these worries?
