Flintstone complete or prenatal gummies?

[rustyswife828]

Ok so I went to my first prenatal doctor checkup yesterday.. So I am PREGNANT! I'm 4 weeks and 4 days! So I've been taking the prenatal gummies for a while! They've got 800 mg of folic acid and DHA.. Now my nurse told me I need to make sure I get my iron also.. The flintstones have 400 mg of folic acid and 18 mg of iron..

Which one would be best???

the gummies as there made for pregnant women..just get an iron supplement .....

before they made gummies i took flinstones but i really do think the gummies are better as they are made for pregnant mommies

Hi i was worried hadnt seen you on here!! Glad to hear your appt went well the gummies should have iron?? I take regular pill prenatals and mine have iron.

I'd stick to the prenatals...it's always better to go with a higher dose of folic acid. You could always take an additional iron supplement.

gummies dont have iron as kids can mistake it for candy...that is why they kept it out..
