Pregnant n wondering can i still eat what i want or is it possible to get too much iron by eating foods that contain iron along with taking 45mg fs?

No restrictions: There are really no dietary restrctions with respect to fears of iron overload. Iron is preferentially delivered to the baby. You wouldn't be able to overload on diet alone.

Agree with Dr. S: Foods high in iron are okay in your state. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
