    my mw said no extra Iron.. the amount in the prenatals I take is about as much as my body is going to absorb anyway.. she encouraged increasing my iron rich foods instead.

    My doctor has me taking Repliva once a day. I was a little low on iron at my 28 wk. blood work. I also take my prenatals but i wasn't getting enough iron.

    I've been slightly anemic with all 3 of my pregnancies, and I take 450mg of Chromagen daily.
