I'm taking the prenatal gummies but they don't have iron in them and the baby needs iron. So my doctor told me to take a iron supplement called vitron c too.

did you already try a food-based prenatal like new chapter? Usually, the vitamins make us so sick because they are mineral based and are therefore hard to digest and harder to absorb. A food based vitamin will give you nutrients from actual food like calcium from egg shell instead of calcium from a rock.
Gummies are a bit laughable to me; but maybe they are better than nothing. They definitely don't have pregnancy in mind when they make them, and vitamins like that only give you the bare minimum that you need whereas New Chapter gives you more reasonable amounts and more reassurance.
