Question

Hello, I am 12 weeks pregnant and I am using Materna prenatal vitamins. However, I have extreme fatigue and I was wondering if I could take iron supplements to help me?

Thank you for your question! I want to reassure you that fatigue is very normal, especially in the first trimester. It may even seem unusual, even extreme, but does not necessarily imply anemia You should have an RV soon, and a routine exam/blood test will be done with you to see if you need supplementation. Also, fatigue gradually subsides after the 2nd trimester in most people. I hope that I have been of some help to you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions Tom Samaha, pharmacist
