I'm 8wks pregnant and i feel very weak and tired i'm taking ferralet 90 pills for iron can i take 2a day?

Check with DR: It's completely normal to feel tired in first trimester. If you're proven to be anemic, definitely follow your doctor's instructions re taking iron. If you're not anemic, however, i wouldn't take 2 iron pills a day as can put you at increased risk for constipation and hemorroids (ouch!). Also, women can increase iron in diet... Sometimes this is more effective than pills.
