Afternoon,
I've just been told that my iron results from my last blood tests were borderline and so my doctors have prescribed my iron tablets. Now, I've been suffering from the usual pregnancy complaints and (too much info warning) have only just got back to the point where I am pooing regularly again! (Wholewheat everything plus tonnes of fruit and veg)
I'm assuming that my borderline iron won't affect bean (I'm 27+5), just me and was wondering if I'd be able to persuade my midwife to let me try some natural solutions that don't cause constipation and if I haven't improved it by my next blood test (1 months time) then I'll go onto the iron tablets. Can you recommend any alternatives?
Also, please let me know if it will harm bean as obv I'll take whatever is needed (mmmmm prunes ). Or maybe I'm making too much of a deal of it and the tablets won't affect me [hmmm]
All advice gratefully received!!
