A member asked:
If your 6 weeks into your pregnancy and have an iron deficiency can you take iron pills and prenatal pills?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Iron supplement: Taking iron in the first trimester will worsen the nausea and vomiting associated with the first trimester so the pregnant lady should increase her intake of iron from iron rich foods and vegetables such as green leafy ones.

Yes absolutely: Yes, definitely- if you know that you have iron deficiency anemia to begin with in addition taking the prenatal vitamin you should also take iron replacement pills as there is only low dose of iron inside the prenatal vitamin and it is not enough to meet the demand of iron during pregnancy. Enjoy your pregnancy.
