    I am 16 weeks along and had the same problem. Metamucil works like a charm for me.

    and if you are ok with trying antural sources of iron - wheat grass juice works miracles, but i was hesitant to suggest it.

    add some bananas to your fruits, dates too.

    and drink warm water @Archanaanchan

    yes for some people syrup works better than tablets and other slow release iron.

    Thank you Shanvy :) I am throwing up and absolutely hate greens :( I am including prunes (6-7), and a lot of fibre rich food... Seems like its not helping me much. The iron supplement brand was left to my decision. The Doctor is suggesting me to use stool softeners . I am only worried what happens after I stop them ?
