Have you got low iron? I am also extremely fatigued and my midwife suggested it could be iron levels. I'm taking an iron supplement now but I think some of it comes from insomnia too x

@Sonia which iron supplement have you been taking what mg and have you felt a difference x

I was like this and my midwife checked my BP and it was pretty low I'd also been passing out, turned out my iron levels where really low and I was anemic, I'd definitely get your bloods checked ASAP! Xx

@Jade i take the betteryou daily iron spray, you simply spray it inside your mouth into your cheeks, apparently its the fastest way to absorb it. It tastes alright too. I take 5mg but as ellie has said you may need to take more so i would also recommend getting your bloods tested to see how and if you are deficient x

That's a good idea! I'm on iron tablets in my prenatals but needed ferrus sulphate x

@Ellie i think the amount in the prenatals is so small that every woman should be encouraged to take some kind of iron supplement in the third trimester :)
