Prenatal Vitamins without Iron

Has anyone considered switching or has switched to prenatal vitamins without iron? I am so constipated and metamucil, bran, etc. is just not cutting it anymore. I don't want to hurt the baby, but I am dying. Has anyone tried this and had it work?

    I take a gummy prenatal without iron and my dr said it was ok so long as my future blood tests dont come back with low iron levels. I try to get my iron in with food. I'm not a regular as I use to be, but I'm not constipated and I have hardly any MS.&nbsp

    My vitamin doesn?t have iron.  Doctor doesn?t care at this point as long as I am getting my folic acid.

    I've been taking the gummies without iron because it was making my ms sooo much worse. I need to find an actual pill though. I dread taking tge gummies, I gag horribly while chewing them.

    Thanks for the information. I was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia after my bariatric surgery. My doctor told me it happened due to excessive intake of iron elements and hence recommended me to take multivitamins without iron. I can feel the difference after having this.
