A member asked:
I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed an iron supplement. now i am extremely bloated, is there anything i can do reduce the bloating?

Doubt due to FE: I highly doubt the iron has anything to do with the bloating. It is common to be bloated at the end of a pregnancy. It is important to know that you are not developing a condition called toxemia which can also cause bloating and your OB can rule that out. There isn't much you can do about it except avoiding very salty foods and rest on your left side with your feet above the heart.
