Hi, I'm 14 weeks today in my twin pregnancy and have been put on iron supplements and baby aspirin by the midwife and consultant at the mat unit. I managed the iron for 5 days and ended up with stomach cramps, constipation and then diarrhoea (sorry tmi). I didn't think I was anaemic but was given it as a preventative measure. I made sure I was taking it with food and last thing at night as advised but had 5 nights of horrendous sleep and cramps for 3 mornings in a row. I phoned the mat unit and was told to stop taking the iron and now feeling better after 2 days.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with being prescribed tablets to prevent things?
