I'm 18 weeks pregnant and my cousin is saying I should have been taking iron tablets as soon as I found out. However my gp only ever advised me to take folic acid for 1st 3 months and pregnancy multi vitamins due to a vitamin d deficiency a few months back.
Is folic acid the same as iron tablets or should I be taking something else? May sound stupid but I'm lost!
