Really Low Iron Levels..

Hey all,

I am almost 29 weeks pregnant, i had some blood tests done last week and my midwife called to say that i have dangeriuosly low iron levels and thats about all she said. She said to go to the chemist and get Floradix and inner health plus. I have never been one to beleive in herbal remidies as they never work for me.

I am going to go get them though, it might explain why i have no energy at all and have a never ending cold. This may be TMI but wont all these iron supplements as such make me constipated? I havent been yet during my pregnancy but dont want to be either! Can i take Metamucil or something? Is that safe? or any other suggestions would be great!

Also i have been resting alot lately Obs orders as my blood pressure is high and had some leaking the other day but was neg for amniotic fluid... thankfully! :) I want to do soem excercise but my mother and partner try to insure i dont leave the house to much lol very over concerned. Should i get like a light work out dvd or something? i feel like a blob atm.. i dont want to over do it just feel good again.. any suggestions?

sorry about the long post!


Thank you! :D
