Im 20 weeks pregnant. i've been told i need iron through iv. i am taking iron orally but it's not enough. is iv iron safe for me and the baby? risks?

YOUR OB should be: Discussing all of that with you at length, u should not need to ask that ? Here, if you need IV iron then your hb nd hct must be really low and if given correctly is safe but ask your doc all these questions before you start the therapy.
