I've been anemic all my life just about and find for me they take about 3 weeks to make any difference, but I know with some people they can work much faster. I have to take mine with food (nothing with dairy though as it can stop absorption!) Otherwise I feel so sick and get really constipated. Orange juice is supposedly great to take them with as mentioned but I HATE oranges so I just try and take them with some form of fruit aswell.I got diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia 2 days ago, just curious how long it took for the tablets to start making you feel better? I can't wait to hopefully not feel tired all the time anymore!
I’ve been on iron tablets a few times and am back on them since last week. I usually feel a bit better after a week- only problem is that they can really make you constipated so I take stool softeners a couple of times a week. Taking them with orange juice is said to be the best way to take them x
Thank you both! Looks like I need to buy some orange juiceI've been anemic all my life just about and find for me they take about 3 weeks to make any difference, but I know with some people they can work much faster.

I’m on week 3 and I’m just about starting to feel okay. I’m like 75% there but I’ve got a history of anaemia and I’ve had transfusions in the past!I got diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia 2 days ago, just curious how long it took for the tablets to start making you feel better?

And avoid tea with your meals, that’s what my consultant always told me! I’ve got some laxatives and have a huge bowl of all bran every morning.I've been anemic all my life just about and find for me they take about 3 weeks to make any difference, but I know with some people they can work much faster.

Our gender scan on Friday she said "looks like a little girl". Me being the biggest overthinker ever, about an hour after the appt I said to my husband "do you think she was sure?" He's been laughing at me since. He said she wouldn't have bothered saying the gender if she couldn't see it.Had my gender scan this morning - we’re having 2 girlsand we got to hear the heartbeats which made me more emotional than I thought it would!

Welcome to my brain
Yay congratulations!! X xHad my gender scan this morning - we’re having 2 girlsand we got to hear the heartbeats which made me more emotional than I thought it would!
I really enjoyed that session. From my partner’s reaction to it he’ll be waiting outside during the birth ha xMorning all. Happy Sunday / Father's Day! I've just tried watching a 45 min chat about hypnobirthing with my partner who laughed his way through it. Naturally, I'm now questioning my birth partner because my hormones are complete stable....
Oh that sounds lovely. I think I have quite a lazy baby as I don't feel him move loads like others explain. Sounds awful fainting, how often has it happened? Have you mentioned it to your midwife? XHad our 3D/4D scan on Thursday, it was wonderful to see baby , got video clips of them sucking their thumb, playing with their feet, yawning. Very active baby. I got up off the clinic bed and fainted again , out coldI'm 26 weeks. The fainting has me on edge as I can't drive or go anywhere. can't do anything nice
I found the HD was much better and baby was a nicer colour on the screen if that makes senseI'm just waiting outside for my 4d scan. Debating upgrading to HD, if I remember correctly people have said it's much better.
