20 weeks pregnant, should I take iron pills?

Q: I’m interested to know what other pregnant mothers and mom’s to be would do in my situation.I have a genetic blood disorder from my mother, we’re both ‘carriers’ meaning that we do not have the disease but the markers in the genes for it. The disorder will show as borderline anemic in blood tests, with an unusually high level of hemoglobin F. I don’t really have anemia and never experienced symptoms of it.That being said, when I became pregnant my ob/gyn prescribed me iron pills and told me I was borderline anemic. I explained to him that I had a disorder, and he agreed that the hemoglobin F was highly unusual and that I was really “barely anemic”. However, he still felt the “need” to prescribe the iron pills and give me samples. At the time I was in my first trimester and knee deep in morning sickness, so I couldn’t fathom taking another pill (I take a prenatal with iron and folic acid) uunnecessarily.Now that I’m 20 weeks, the nausea has subsided enough that I can take my prenatal without much discomfort. Should I start to take iron pills now? I do feel like it would be overdoing it considering I’m not truly anemic and I get iron in my foods and prenatal pill (the label says 140% of daily intake). Am I doing the right thing? And what are the effects of anemia on the unborn baby? There is a chance that this child will be a carrier for the disorder (like me) but not have it (it takes two of the genes to make the disease and my husband is not a carrier).Okay…I’m NOT really anemic….my blood disorder FAKES anemia. I do not, and am not anemic. Ugh, I knew nobody would really understand or read this question. Thanks anyway, I might try it, what can overdosing on iron do anyway?

A: You don’t take vitamins while pregnant for your baby, you take them for you. When it comes to nutrition, you baby is essentially a parasite and leaches all the nutrients it needs from you. You can end up deficient in just about any vitamin or mineral because your baby is stealing them from your body. You’re taking iron to keep yourself healthy, and you should take it if your doctor told you to.
