Gummy vitamins and iron supplements

I swithed to the gummies with no iron. How many mgs are your iron supplements, and are you taking them everyday? I only found 65mg ones, but my old prenatal had 30mgs.

    I noticed the same thing when I switched to the gummies, so I asked my OB about it.  She said not to worry about the iron for now since all my bloodwork was fine and that the iron suppliment can make constipation worse.  I found it was once I went off the PNV with the iron and started getting regular again.  She said just make sure I'm eating a nice balanced diet with fruits and veggies.  

    So, ask your OB if you really need the iron.  I'm glad I did.

    I take the gummies every day and the 65 iron every other day.

    I love the gummies! They are way better than the other ones I was taking and I haven't gotten sick off of them :) I'm much happier, but I haven't taken any iron pills at all.
