Dear Slow Fe!!
Dear Slow Fe,I absolutely hate the fact that you even exist on this Earth. What I hate even more is that I am being forced to take you daily for the next 10 1/2 weeks. Even more than that why do you make me feel like hell? I did nothing to do you. I followed your directions and even took you at bedtime. Your box says that your slow release version will limit my nausea and stomach discomfort... well you lie.
Here I am trying to enjoy some Sunday football and finish my chores from yesterday, but I can barely lift my head from the pillow without the intense feeling of needing to throw up. Thank you for ruining my day. Hear me now.. you will not ruin my 3rd trimester. I will defeat you, Slow Fe, you will lose, not me.
Love,
29 weeks pregnant momma
~Susan~
Did you have to take any medications/supplements when you were pregnant? How did they make you feel?

I am 27 weeks pregnant with fraternal twin girls and am also anemic (have been since early in the second trimester). I am taking Bifera and have had little to no side effects!! My dr told me to take it opposite of when I take my prenatal vitamin and to take it with orange juice.
I couldn't take the prenatal vitamins or the iron supplement without upchucking. I ended up not taking the prenatal's and substituted 2 Flintstones vitamins. I toughed it out with the iron though.
Now my son is eight months old, and he was put on an iron supplement. His is liquid though, and he will hold it in his cheek until I'm not looking and spit it out. Even if he does swallow it, it tends to come up 3 minutes later. That stuff stinks and it stains.
I never had to take any supplements when I was pregnant. If it weren't for my surgery, my pregnancy would have been super easy. I am sorry the Slow-Fe pills are making your feel ill. I would look for another formulation or talk to your doctor about it.
I took slow Fe for two weeks during one pregnancy it made me sick too. Then I read the package dessicated stomach substance???!!!!! I lost my cookies then called the pharmacist to ask what in the heck that is? He told me it's just what it says, dried stomach substances. I puked again then called back to ask him was this stomach substance from animals or humans? He said he didn't know for certain and that I should contact the company. I tossed out the meds and somehow managed to survive that and all the rest of my pregnancies without any ingestion of dried stomach substances.
Try taking vitamin c with it. I had to take iron supplements when I was younger due to anemia and my doctor told me that taking vitamin c at the same time would limit the nausea and discomfort. It actually worked. I have never been pregnant, so you may wanna talk it over with your doctor first. :)
Hope I helped.
I was severely anemic for both of my pregnancies and never had to take Slow Fe...I was given some other iron supplement(I can't remember what it was called) and told to take 3 a day. I ate meals before I took my prenatals and iron tablets and had no nausea. The only problem was really awful BM's. Ask your doctor if there is a different iron supplement you can take.
It might just be because you're pregnant. I've been taking Slow Fe for a few months now for my anemia, and it honestly is a lifesaver to me. The only side effects I got was a bit stomach discomfort the first day I ever took them. I used to take Vitron-C but my doctor told me to switch over to Slow Fe.. she made the right choice.
I've taken this after giving birth to my daughter and it has helped with my anemic. You're probably having side effects because you're pregnant. Hope you find something that works.
I hope your ob/gyn or your doctor have told you to take Vitamin C with the Slow fe. it is suppose to help with the stomach problem that comes with the slow fe.
That is a tough medication to take!! I feel for ya *hugs*
my ob suggested bifera for my anemia and so far it's been working well - no side effects. maybe you try switching to that?

levels of iron in the blood. Iron is an important mineral that the body needs
to produce red blood cells. Slow Fe works by replacing iron in your body if
your body does not produce enough on its own.
Slowfeis used to treat or prevent iron-deficiency anemia, a condition
that occurs when the body has too few red blood cells. It is supposed to
help with the stomach problem that comes with the slow fe.
I hope your doctor have told you to take Vitamin C with the Slow fe. It is supposed to
help with the stomach problem that comes with the slow fe.
It works by replacing iron in your body if your body does not produce enough on
its own. You should follow your doctor's instructions carefully. So that it
would be better for you.
