Prenatals vitamins without iron?

posted 5th Nov
Do you know of any prenatals vitamins out there that dont have iron? I took prenatals my whole pregnancy with my son and I got severely constipated ended up tearing and took a year to heal.. almost needed surgery! So im really scared to take this time around.. but im also worried about not taking them. I seen the NP when I got my u/s the other day and she said to find some with no iron!

I was told by a pharmacist you can't use those as an alternative because there's not nearly everything you need in the children's vitamins as opposed to prenatal vitamins!

I get prescription prenatals that have a stool softener in them. Any vitamins make me horribly constipated so they are a must for me!

Its what I took with my kids because I couldnt handle the iron in the regular prenatals. Its what my doctor told me to take.

And that's why your pharmacist isn't a doctor.   That's the only thing a lot of women can take.

I take 2 a day. Thats what the bottle says. They are the CVS brand gummy prenantal vitamins. No artificial colors or anything and I think mine have DHA in them too.

That's why I brought it up to him.. because I thought it'd be easier on my stomach. Apparently I was wrong in saying you could take them. I'll have to ask my OB because I have the same problem. Do you just take the flinstone vitamins?

Yeah I tried to argue his opinion but he wasn't having it. Should I be looking for specific things in a children's vitamin? Or are they all fairly similar?
