And I passed the glucose tolerance test!

They had me up to three iron supplements a day in addition to what was in my prenatal when I was pregnant with my first. They were worried I was going to need a transfusion at delivery, but it all turned out fine.

I just couldn't stand meat with her. Fruits and veggies all the way. And pizza, lol.

I took my morning iron with orange juice. Thanks for that tip because I never knew that.

Leanna - Thanks for the tip on Floradix. I will ask.

Peta - Congrats on passing your test too!!

Yay I passed as well got my results today it is such a relief

congrats on passing another mile stone :)

A heartfelt hooray. I'm 31 weeks and am not particularly fond of the "oral glucose tolerance beverage." This is my second pregnancy and I passed round one with flying colors. I had to do the 3 hour with my first son, and believe me, it ain't fun.

I second the orange juice thing. Also, perhaps talk with your OB about the iron supplement Floradix. It's all-natural and doesn't cause ANY stomach issues, including constipation. I buy the liquid form from Swansons Health through Amazon.

Also, CONGRATULATIONS on passing the test!

yep, if you take iron with something acidic, you'll absorb the iron better.

I don't know if your OB mentioned it to you or not, but my OB recommended that I take my iron supplements with some orange juice. He mentioned a study that people that took iron with OJ were proven to absorb more iron. He didn't get into details as to why, but I figured that it couldn't hurt! Good luck and I love the blog!
