Pregnancy Requires More Iron...

~ Posted on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 8:28 AM ~

I came across this article (screenshot below) which mentioned:

"Pregnant women need to produce more red blood cells (to share with the fetus) than when they aren't pregnant. To make this extra blood, pregnant women need to get more iron. Otherwise, they're at risk of iron-deficiency anemia."

Pregnancy Requires More Iron

But why do I end up with a different kind of iron??!!

See below...

Hahaha...like my boy always trying to pretend he's some kind of superhero. I think you need both kinds of iron to make life more amusing.
