You are so sweet Deneb so I don't know how to tell you this ... but you are over reacting. If you are just taking the prenatal vitamins and your iron stores were always low, then I am sure you are not getting too much iron.

As for the thing on your toe, it sounds like a broken blood vessel.

HOWEVER, I think you should keep your appt. with your doctor and ask to have some blood work done. Find out what your iron is doing because that is important. Hopefully your iron stores won't be low anymore if you are taking the supplements.
