Hiya, i'm sorry about your other baby. I'm the same with folic acid and the iron tablets they gave me, im on my 3rd pregnancy now and couldnt take it with any of them so i had an iron infusion at the hospital, its just were you have a needle with a drip containing all the iron you need for you and baby and i was fine with that, they said some people are just iron intolerant by mouth and have to have it put straight into the bloodstream rather than through the intestines. Hope this helps and you get it sorted. x
