Why Moms Keep Talking About Iron in Early Pregnancy

Let’s be real, when you find out you’re pregnant, everyone has an opinion on what you should eat or take! But one tip that keeps coming up? Iron, and for good reason!

Here’s the deal: pregnancy means your body needs more iron. Why? Because you’re making extra blood for you and your baby. 
If you don’t get enough, you might feel super tired, dizzy, or just off.

That’s why so many moms-to-be add an iron supplement to their daily routine. Some use a simple iron pill, while others go for a good prenatal vitamin with iron included. And of course, eating iron-rich foods (like spinach, lean beef, lentils, or even breakfast cereal) helps a lot too!

Our quick tips:

• Ask your doctor before you start any new supplement (seriously, always check first!)

• Pick a gentle iron if your tummy’s sensitive.

• Take iron with a glass of orange juice: Vitamin C helps you absorb it better!

At DiMA, we’re here to help you find what actually works (and what’s worth skipping!)
