Sorry hun, I don't have it but can sympathise as I'm going nuts with my itching now.

Hope you feel better soon

I'm ok with the iron but can sympathise with the out of breath situation. I get it when I'm just sat watching TV-I think it's baby squashing my lungs or something!

Hope you feel better soon.

I have a friend that suffered a lot of blood loss and her doctor recommended Floradix (you can get it from healthfood stores). It really helped her and I've used it myself as I often get anaemic and it seems to do the trick. It's safe to take during pregnancy so I've been taking it the past few weeks. Just had a blood test done as I have a high risk of bleeding at delivery but I'm still waiting for the results....I don't feel as though I'm anaemic at the moment so I think it's working.

Hope that you can get your iron levels back up soon.

You can get different types of iron supplements, so it might be worth asking Dr to prescribe another brand that you can try?
