Yayyyy i don't have Gestational Diabetes!!! :D

But, they tested me for anemia too and they said i'm still pretty anemic, so i need to start taking iron 2 times a day.

If my prenatals have extra iron in them, does that count as 1 time per day, and i should just take 1 more pill? or 2 more iron pills on top of my prenatals???

	Comment from Sianny » Posted Jun. 4, 2014 11:03am I had the same issue with my son and I had to take extra ontop of my tablets but Drs were aware that I had the prenatal vits. I swapped to the apple flavour liquid dose of iron as it really helped with the constipation caused by taking the iron tablets. Its worth looking into with your Dr if you get the same issue.
	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Jun. 4, 2014 10:58am I would take the iron as your doctor has prescribed. If you are concerned about the amount of iron, call your dr and tell them how much is in your prenatal and let them decide if you need to lower the dose of just the iron. I take a prenatal and 1 iron pill per day for low iron. The iron pill is a high mg though.
