iron tablets?

Would taking just regular all natural iron vitamins with my prenatals be bad? I don't know if I'm anemic or not I just want to take them to be sure I'm getting the extra iron anyways.

I take slow release iron tablets because my gummy vitamins don't have iron in them. If you get iron tablets I was told to go with slow release because you are less likely to get an upset stomach.

I took the gummy prenatals my first pregnancy and was totally fine. Doing the same this time and am anemic now 36 weeks pregnant. I was prescribed ferralet 90mg once a day along with my regular gummy prenatals
