my iron level has been at this my whole pregnancy and I have a really hard time taking Iron pills so I am doing the foods and cereals with lots of Iron did any of you Lady‘s go into labor with low iron how was your experience was every thing ok ??
im 32weeks pregnant and i also have low iron, i been taking iron pills for 3weeks now. How come your having a hard time taking them? Im a Vegetarian so i dont like meat, but red meat is good for you if you have low iron. Wheat bread or white bread, rice, beans, peanut butter, cereal, soy milk and almond milk, green vegetables, veggie burgers, and mushrooms have iron. One bowl of cereal with soy milk or almond milk has 55-70% of you daily Iron needs, depending on how much milk and cereal you use. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich has 12% of your daily Iron needs. Green, leafy vegetables have 10-25% of your daily iron needs, depending on the vegetable. Post raisin bran is very high in iron. I recently bought a box, and it has 60% of your daily iron needs. But you could also buy a cheap Malt-o-meal bag of cereal, and it will usually have 30-50% of your daily iron requirements.
You need the iron. If you aren't so tired you feel dead you will be soon. Apricots are high in iron, so is Malt O Meal and red meat. Burdock root is available from a health food store its crunchy and you cook it like carrots. I bought burdock root capsules and brougth mine up from a 7 and feel sooooo much better!!! You dont want low iron during birth because of the bleeding, and the tirednesss. DO NOT IGNORE IT!!!!
