Iron and birth defects

Al
What birth defects does the iron in prenatals prevent? I've been really constipated and the nurse recommended I take a prenatal that doesn't have iron. I just read here on glow that iron prevents birth defect. So, why would they recommend me to switch? Any insight on this?
