Anemia @ 27 weeks

I was just diagnosed with anemia at 27 weeks, is there anyone else that has this problem and could give me some advice on dealing with it. I am so scared that something will hurt my baby boy.

I am only worried bc I am already unable to eat any milk products due to the babies father having lactose issues. I feel that is part of my issue bc with my first I was basically living off cereal. I have started an iron supplement along with my calcium, magnesium, zinc, frolic acid, and DHA. I have been unable to take a prenatal due to getting sick no matter what I do to help.

my doc just had me take an otc iron supplement. one in the morning, one at night, and take my prenatal midday. my hemoglobin level was eight, so this should help give us back some energy
