A member asked:
Can a pregnant woman taking her prenatal vitamin still become anemic ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes she could: Anemia has many causes...Most of them are not corrected by a vitamin unless this medication also has iron in it. Even then blood loss can cause anemia and there are more causes as well. Have the ob/gyn doctor guide her....Who is she anyway?
