Doc started me on iron last week and since then i feel so mateli all day, especially after taking it. Is it the iron doing this or just normal pregnancy nausea? Im in my 2nd trimester now. Anyone faced the same yaar?
Oh no, I was just reading up on prenatal vitamins because we are planning soon, and this is my biggest fear. Is there any specific brand that doesn't cause so much nausea? I hope you feel better soon.
Honestly, iron supplements are notorious for triggering nausea. Don't just sit and suffer through it. Call your gynac and ask for a different brand or a change in dosage timing, it's a very common issue.
It definitely does, my nausea was crazy because of both iron and thyroid medicines. You should definitely tell your gynac in your next follow-up so they can adjust the timings or change the brand. Regular checkups are really key to balancing these symptoms.
Yes, iron tablets can really upset your stomach and cause bad nausea. I had to ask my doctor to change the brand because I couldn't afford to waste money on expensive supplements that I kept throwing up. Plus, frequent hospital visits for changing medicines also adds to the bill, so do ask your doctor for a cheaper, gentler alternative.
Oh, I feel you so much, those iron pills were the absolute worst for my morning sickness. It is so tough when you are already struggling and then have to swallow those heavy tablets. Please be gentle with yourself, it gets better after delivery, I promise.
Yaar, actually those iron tabs are notorious for this! I used to get so nauseous after taking them, it was horrible. I started taking them right after a heavy meal instead of empty stomach, and that helped a bit.
Oh yes! Those iron pills can definitely make u feel super pukish. 🤢 I used to take mine with some lemon juice and it really helped cut down that metallic taste. Hang in there, this phase will pass soon!
My doctor explained that the high iron content can irritate the stomach lining, which triggers nausea and constipation. She advised me to never take it on an empty stomach and suggested taking it with vitamin C to help absorption and reduce nausea. It really made a difference.
Beta, iron can be very heavy on the stomach, so it often causes nausea and even constipation. Try having a small piece of amla or a little ginger tea after food to soothe your tummy. But don't skip your medicines, they are important for the baby.
Yes, iron supplements are known to cause gastric irritation and nausea. Try taking them at night after dinner so you can sleep through the worst of it. If it's too bad, your doctor can easily switch you to a different formulation like liquid iron.
