Enough vitamins??

[TrinaheavenboundbibbMom2Be]

I recently got Vitafusion™ prenatal gummy vitamins because I was chewing my big ones the hospital (not my ob/gyn) had originally prescribed due to my anemia and that was just awful tasting! I'm concerned because the new vitamins don't contain iron so should I just stick  to chewing those nasty ones or ask my doctor to prescribe me an iron supplement??

I take ferrous sulfate 325 mg twice a day as well as my prenatal and im not even anemic.
I would definitely talk to a doc about an iron supplement if I were you.

Too much iron for the baby is bad, you should ask your dr. if the dose is okay. Ask your dr for iron samples for the mean time, that's what i did :) lol

Talk to your OB first. It's not good to take anything without it getting cleared by them first.

I have red iron pills Ferosul that I was prescribed way before I was pregnant... Maybe I can start back taking those??

[Mommy2bee312]

I take those ones too- but my dr gave me iron pills to take with it, your baby needs iron to develop & if your anemic you really should be taking an iron supplement.

I'm assuming because you're anemic you would really need iron. This is something you should definitely ask your doctor.
