Vitamins / supplements

[norbert23]

Hi I'm currently having my first miscarriage, 8 weeks along. Obviously I'm feeling rubbish and have started thinking about what I can do to at least physically feel a bit better, I've been taking a multivitamin and continued with folic acid but I wondered if there's anything else I ought to consider? Thanks x

Hi, first, I'm so sorry you're going through this, I just went through my first miscarriage myself. I continued taking my prenatal vitamin and I've been eating some dark chocolate everyday for some reason, maybe because it has iron in it, or just because chocolate usually helps me feel better in general. Try to relax and treat yourself well, plenty of sleep too. I know it's easier said than done though.

Thank you Jess, that's really helpful. I've eaten a whole box of pralines over the last 24 hours and went to boots to stock up on vitamins and iron. I just wasn't expecting to feel so wiped out, I'm struggling to sleep which doesn't help but you're right about rest and taking it easy. X

I'm sorry you've also been through it too, thanks for taking the time to reach out it's really kind xx

So sorry you’ve been through this Norbert
I took Spatone after my mc, as I was feeling really exhausted (which I reckoned was low iron) - seemed to help.

So sorry you're going through this.

I took feroglobin after I had surgery for a mmc, which I found very gentle. Chocolate will definitely help along the way!

You will feel exhausted - your body is very busy, and it's an emotional rollercoaster as well

Thank you all, I've got some spatone which tasted much better than I expected and I feel much better for it. Obviously chocolate is helping xxx

I took agnus cactus
