Prenatals without iron?

Question

My prenatals don't have iron and I know that's suppose to be important. I had someone else pick some up since I was busy and this is what they got. Is this okay? Should I take iron too?

Answer

Folic acid is the most important one to look for. But the dha also helps with brain development

Answer

The iron in the prenatals usually make you constipated, so if you can get it through your diet that would be better

Answer

Dha, folic acid, and iron are your top three must haves. But if you eat iron rich foods and make sure you stay on top of that you can avoid the iron prenatal.

Answer

My doctor gave me a prescription for prenatals ( they have more iron in them) and I get them for fee at meijer.

Answer

Ask your doctor for a prescription for iron pills, I had prenatals without iron though and I was really lightheaded and tired for a time, but now I feel okay and my iron levels have come back fine.

Answer

I have gummy prenatals without iron too, and all my blood work comes back 100% normal. You get iron in food if you eat a healthy diet, so I think there's no need to be taking extra supplements unless your midwife/doctor advises you to.

Answer

You should ask your doctor. I didn't need to take iron pills this pregnancy, but I was anemic with my first so I had to take them. You may be lucky and not need to take them if your blood levels are ok.

Answer

You need the iron girl. I have to take my prenatals plus iron pills. With my iron low I started getting light headed and seeing floaters and feeling like Imma pass out. You need both folic acid and iron. I didn't realize how important it was either because everyone was saying just folic acid. Definitely get a prenatal with both.
