Extra Iron??

I've been told by my OB that I am aneamic which is no suprise I was aneamic with my other 2 aswell and had to take Fefol anywayyy My current OB told me to take 2 caps a day one in the morn the other in the arvo and stop taking the preg multi vitamins but I'm a little concered as the Fefol pack says take one a day, I normaly wouldn't stress about it but I remember reading something about overdosing on Iron??? is it bad for the baby or me??

Sorry can't help, hope someone else here can for you tho. Or maybe you should ring OB and quiz him about it?

Good Luck

I'd follow the OB advice, and discuss with your pharmicist. You could try something like SpaTone which is a natural liquid supplement that doesn't tend to cause constipation as much.

thanks girls I'll look into the SpaTone as I HATE the effects of iron supplements eeewwwww! :lol: I tend to get the reverse effects IYKWIM? I'm just concerned about the baby getting too much iron
