hi ladies! i'm not very well educated in the food department as ive never really been a massive eater, and i never really cared about what i eat. but now im carrying a beautiful little human inside of me, ive had to eat more and healthier! (which i dont mind at all, i actually love fruit now lol)
ive been going a little head rushy recently and i think it might be due to lack of iron? so im wondering what non complicated foods contain iron?

Cut and pasted from NHS website (advice what to eat if you have low iron)


  • dark-green leafy vegetables, such as watercress and curly kale
  • iron-fortified cereals
  • wholegrains, such as brown rice
  • beans
  • nuts
  • meat
  • apricots
  • prunes
  • raisins

Bran flakes for breakfast - most brands are fortified with iron. I used to be anaemic by my iron levels have shot up now I have this for my brekky xx
 
When eating non haem iron (leafy veg) it doesn't absorb as easily so have vit C (eg orange juice) alongside it which aids absorption. Haem iron, eg from meat is absorbed more readily. Xx
