hi joyce i cant help u but as u have seen doc and dentist its obviously nothing serious, so stick to there advice and u will be fine, if u get anymore probs or worrys go back to your doctors and they will put you right. hugs xx

Hi joyce. Alot of what you are suffering with probably is down to the pregnancy....hormones and all of that. Your sore tongue and mouth is probably down to a lack of vitamins yes. Im not sure how long they take to work, but keep taking them and im sure youll see some improvement. When youve had your baby youll probably feel loads better.

Take care

thanks cathy i was at dentist on friday and she said it was because of baby im a bit anaemic and im not sure what vitamins im supposed to take like vitamin bs are they rright and when i eat something sweet or savoury it seems to hurt but i guess the dentist knows best she says it the big bump thts causing the discomfort need to see what vitamins i should be takig though

[Cathy V]

Joyce im surprised they didnt tell you what vitaminss to take seeing as how your pregnant. If you are anaemic then its iron you need as well as Vit Bs. Dont let yout iron level drop too much if you can help it. Try to eat more, and if you cant face anything too heavy or dont eat red meat (or liver yuk!) then anything dark and green such as broccolli and salad leaves.

If your dentist thinks you are a bit anaemic joyce it might be an idea to tell the doc too ok?
But you sound loads better today i have to say :)

my bloods were checked and they said i waqs borderline anaemia which was 10.2 when i started off i was 13.1 so i guess thts quite a drop and if your anaemic your mouth can get sore im taking vitamin b s comlex but they only have small amounts in them sd i be taking bigger doses or are the small amounts enough also sd i be taking vitamin c do you no thanks again cathy

hi joyce not sure if this helps but here is a remedy for sore tongue i just looked up for u

Remedy for a Sore Tongue, Treatment for a Sore Tongue

The common remedy for a sore tongue or treatment for a sore tongue are:
# Mix half tsp of turmeric with warm cup of milk. Use it 2 times a day.

[Cathy V]

Vitamin C is not specifically for treating iron deficiency, but it can help alongside of the Vit-B complex to help to heal your mouth, and can also help to keep your system strong while you are pregnant. These vits cant harm you or the baby joyce so its ok to take them.

Has the thrush gone?

Turmeric is a spice - used in Indian cooking mainly. Bright yellow/orange - easy to get anywhere.... and very good for all sorts of ailments!

As to the sore tongue, it's totally normal with low iron.... check with your Doctor about taking iron supplements though as they should give you the amount you need. I also read that hormonal changes/fluctuations cause sore tongues too..... so, while it's probably uncomfortable, it's nothing serious and definitely makes sense with you being pregnant! Try not to stress too much...

Hey Joyce!!

Make sure you take the correct dose of iron and vitamins, the correct dose is very important for you and your baby.

Glad to hear you, you sound so much better!!
