Hi, I am almost 30 weeks and my last blood tests says I am boderline anaemic. As the levels are not quite low enough for them to prescribe iron the mw recommended floradix liquid iron. Does anyone know if I can take this and continue with normal pg multivitamin?
thanks

I've just been told i'm borderline anaemic & i'm nearly 20 weeks my GP said its quite common in pregnancy but wants to prescribe iron tablets & i'm to have another blood test in 1 month. I don't know much about the liquid iron & pg multivitamin only i think it can stain your teeth!
For best results - and to avoid constipation - take the iron with a glass of orange juice. IT helps absorption and keeps things moving along lol!
When I was around 30 weeks pregnant I was borderline and they decided to give me the tablets anyway, as the midwife told me the stuff above so it was safe
Hope that helps!
