Iron Supplement alternatives

Hi mommies, just want to enquire, what are the alternatives for iron supplement. I am currently 26wks+ and taking Obimin as a daily prenatal vitamin along with fish oil. My blood test result showed that my Hb is low (9.5) and Dr has prescribed iron supplement. I am not in favor of consuming alot of medications. Besides beetroot, spinach and redmeat, are there any other food that I can consume to boost my iron level? TIA :)

Why are you against taking iron supplement? It is exactly the same as eating those food with high iron content, except you don't need to also consume the bad stuff that might come with it for instance liver is also high in cholesterol and saturated fat. And even if you eat a lot of liver and spinach everyday it won't be as much as an iron supplement which is formulated to meet the daily requirement.

throbbing headache

I am currently 19 weeks pregnant. Lately I have been having throbbing headache everyday. Its bothersome as it sometimes affects my concentration at work. Not sure what could be the cause of the headache. I am allergic to paracetamol and I was wondering if I can apply essential roll onto my temples?

cramps and swollen feet

I'm in my 18th week of pregnancy. Can share how do you all alleviate cramps and swollen feet. I seem to have it quite frequently nowadays when I lie down for a brief period of time on one side. :(

New vs Hand-me-down

A FTM here. Just want to know do you prefer everything new for your baby or will you accept hand me downs ie clothes and such?

I saved a lot of money by accepting hand me downs. And I really appreciated my friends passing me stuff. Of cos you have to go thru them and accept only what you need and do some QC.

Hi mummies, I'm currently 14wks pregnant with my rainbow baby after an unfortunate miscarriage a few months ago. However, a sudden surge of lower back pain started couple days back. It's aggravated by prolong walking or standing. I try to rest whenever I can during working hours. I was wondering if it is common to have such pain this early in pregnancy? Also, what helps to alleviate the back pain besides resting or medication? I'm worried that it will affect my pregnancy/baby ? Appreciate any advice...

Able to check with gynae? Safer cause it’s first trimester. Some time they can give your HL to bed rest. Rest well
