Hi Hun,

You posted about Spatone and I went out and bought some today. I haven't taken any yet but did you have to consult ur midwife first or just start taking them? Also, how much of it do you take? Xxx

 

[smess26]

What's this?? I am interested.

It's an iron supplement that is 100% natural from Tesco. I don't get on with the iron tablets I was prescribed so wanted to give this drink a try. I'm anaemic though so anything is better than nothing xx

 

[smess26]

Lol there I was thinking this was a brilliant new idea of getting baby out lol x x

 

[Lexusno1]

PMSL! No such luck mate!! I've been thinkin the last few days that I'll be over due despite thinkin I would be early a while ago!!

 

[smess26]

Lol a medium I saw told me I was gonna.be late. Then she also said although he may prove her wrong..... lol she did get.the.sex right although there is a 50/50 chance lol. And she did know I had lost aswell. Said my gran was looking.after them. made me cry. Lol

I brought radox with clary sage to use when I hit 37 lol. X x

Ha ha Jess, step away from the Radox!! I don't believe that any of these things work anyway - Flexilexi tried everything and anything and hers was late! Now I know mine is a whopper, expected to weigh 9lb+ I'm kinda hoping he comes a bit early, lol xx

 

[smess26]

Lol its hard as I know the effect it will have lol. Or I hope it shall have lol x x

Hiya darlin
The midwife recommended it to me after seeing my reaction to the news I needed iron tablets! I started with one sachet then went on to two a day. The leaflet inside is quite short but informative. Just make sure u have a glass of orange juice to hand after! The vitamin calso helps you absorb iron. X

Wicked, thank you hun. I know it was really naughty to stop taking my iron tablets but they made me feel crappy. Now I'm feeling so drained I have to give this a go really. If it wasn't for u I wouldn't have even known about these!! Thank you sweetie xxx

 

[honeyloops]

You're welcome, let me know how you get on. I'm planning on taking them for a while afterbirth too. I stopped tablets with my other two straight away. X

 

[Lexusno1]

Good idea! Lord knows we'll need the iron! Will deffo let you know x

I did just stop them hun. The only thing I did was tell the midwife I'd been forgetting to take them which was true at first and would it affect the baby or just me. She said it would affect me as I'd feel dizzy and could fall etc then that could be dangerous being pregnant but no direct issues on bubb. She said I just need to up my iron. Had a sachet of Spatone yesterday in orange juice and I couldn't taste it to be honest. Had a lick of it neat on my finger and it tastes like battery!! Lol!

I'm gonna carry on with one a day for now as I was only on 2 iron tabs a day and don't wanna overload x

 

[honeyloops]

oh well done for taking it in the OJ! I could still taste it, I definitely prefer to take it like a shot & then drink OJ straight after!! LOL

Have you looked to see what your doseage of iron was with the 2 tablets compared to a sachet of spatone?

I've been told that as its a natural source that your fine taking the maximum dosage as you'll get rid of what you dont need. Also googled this and read similar statements.

I think I'm a bit of a headcase as I took some earlier in juice and started getting breathless and flappy! I was sick straight away but I'm really unwell right now so I think it's more that than the Spatone. Gonna let the doc know and hopefully I can keep taking it as it's more than manageable xx

 

[honeyloops]

ooohh hope ur feeling better soon xxxx

 

[Lexusno1]

Thanks hun. Doc said to take Spatone anyway so all good! She thinks my iron levels dropped even further than before hence the dizziness etc. Just gonna plod on and try to soldier these last few weeks and stop being a baby!!!
