This is the iron care advice I find myself repeating most.
Why? Because too many mums fall through the cracks of not having their iron checked properly, and frequently. Resulting in too much iron, too late!
Why does it matter? Because waiting until anaemia develops means higher doses, more side effects, and less time to course-correct before birth.
If your last iron test was at booking and you’re now well into the second or third trimester, please ask. You’re entitled to that conversation 💛
