Re: i dont know if i can go to October
first of all, take your iron, girl! if you're anemic, that's contributing to your fatigue, no doubt. plus, baby needs it. i would take colace with it to work through the constipation so you can avoid the roids.
i hear you, i am getting restless as well - not rushing through manhattan, just lying on my couch, but restless nonetheless!!
hang in there, we will make it through together

It'll be over before you know it, just hang in a little longer!!!
I too get hot before I even get dressed, try to wear your hair up and not blow dry it if you can, it helps a little.

Re: i dont know if i can go to October
Aw, You'll make it mama!!
The iron is killing me too. I've been skipping days but I really do need to take it every day. I thought eating more meat would help but Dr. said I can't eat enough...one iron pill is like 12 cups of spinach or something crazy like that.
The only thing that helps is drinking the citrucel or metamucil every day and 2 colace every night.
It stinks, but hang in there !!!

Re: i dont know if i can go to October
You can do it!!! Take those supplemets!!!! I have nasty, bloody hemorrhoids and I just figure they are a part of PG. (TMI, I know) Just remain good with your diet and know that a few months of hell is worth a lifetime of joy!!!!!!

Re: i dont know if i can go to October
Hang in there sweetie! I give you tons of credit for braving the Manhattan streets/subways/trains. I could never do it. I too feel like C R A P all day, every day. Def. take your iron and the Colace, you should be fine. Kiwis always help me to go to avoid hemorrhoids!

Re: i dont know if i can go to October
I have been taking iron on and off for years and I have no hemmorhoids. Take 2 Colace with it. Colace is very gentle b/c it is a stool softener without a laxative. If you find you haven't pooped for more than a day, then skip the iron until you do. That seems to work okay for me (nothing is great when you are anemic).
As for work, if I had to get around the city right now, I would have to go out of work. Do what you feel you need to do but you should still take the iron.
ETA: buy the stronger Colace but I would start with just one in case it does not agree with you. I take 2 of those now but I cannot even tolerate any other stool softener or laxative. Oh, of course you can also eat more fiber.

Re: i dont know if i can go to October
Hang in there
I am constantly hot and feel like I begin to sweat after any small motion. 
I am away on business this week (hopefully my last trip) an tonight I have to walk a mile to dinner I am so annoyed. I am going to be a sweaty beast.
rest when you need to and drink lots of water!!
ETA: I hear you about the trains. I have yet to have someone offer me a seat on the subway or the LIRR. I have stood on the LIRR a bunch of times - a 45 minute ride. last time I was in tears.

yeah my doctor told me yesterday that i am slightly anemic and to take SlowFE. She said that should cause less constipation than other iron supps and definitely take colace (I take 3 a day anyway). Oh and take the colace before bed bc for some reason that works better. I am so tired too. Hope this stuff help both of us!
