Too much iron?!

I am totally freaking out and being a total coward about googling this, but I just realised that I've been taking iron supplements given to me by my OBGYN (80mg) but the Pregnacare supplements also have 17mg of iron in them. I've been taking these for about three months. I'm totally panicking that I've been taking too much and it's harmed the baby. So scared!

You poo out what you don't need. Most women have much more to fear by becoming iron depleted in pregnancy. I was on a 'maintenance' dose of 200mg a day.

Oh, wow. Thanks so much! That was the reassurance I needed! Smile
