My hemoglobin level was low after I gave birth, could I take some iron because I don't feel better every day?

I gave birth on July 18 and I see it's time to get my energy back. I have Crohn's disease but it's going well on this side.

Hello Ma'am,

Really sorry for the delay in responding.

Congratulations on your delivery!

Yes, you can take iron. Stop by the pharmacy and they will provide you with an easier to digest formulation (ferrous fumarate).
