When to space out my iron and prenatal supplements?

Question

Hey so I’m 28w+3days and I’m anemic and was told I have to take two iron supplements along with my prenatals. I’m trying to figure out how to space it all time wise, for anyone who had to take multiple supplements with prenatals?

Answer

Read up on what to eat and what not to eat with iron.
Basically, c vitamin is good and helps iron absorb, so iron with orange juice is great. But don't eat anything with calcium, like milk, cheese, antaacid with iron, because calcium doesn't let iron absorb into your body.

Answer

i took my iron around lunch and my prenatals at night, they told me not to drink milk when i took my iron either

Answer

I take my two doses of iron and and pm AWAY from dairy because calcium can inhibit the absorption of iron, and I always take it with fruit, both doses, because vitamin C helps the absorption of iron. I take my regular prenatal vitamins at lunchtime just with whatever I’m eating.

Answer

For me, my iron supplement is supposed to be taken twice a day so I take my iron after I eat breakfast, i usually try and take my prenatals by noon but sometimes I forget and end up taking them before bed, and then I'll take more iron after dinner time and that routine usually works pretty well for me I don't get nauseous from it or anything

Answer

I just took all of mine together before dinner every night 
Prenatals, iron, and vitamin d
