Pregnancy vitamins without iron

[Lizbiz89]

Please can anyone recommend any pregnancy vitamins which don't contain iron? I've always taken pregnacare but I've had to stop taking them as they were causing serious constipation. Really want to keep taking pregnancy vitamins but without the iron. Thanks

I have the same issue 🙄 boots do a folic acid and vitamin D one so I'm just taking them. Still extremely constipated though, it's horrible isn't it.

You may find you need the iron though as lots of pregnant women can be low on it.

Could you try movicol or fybogel alongside your vitamins to see if that helps the constipation? I’m on extra iron and use fybogel which seems to help. If it doesn’t, some lactulose does the job!

Thanks! Yes I've just started taking movicol so I'll go back onto pregnacare. Hopefully the constipation stays away! The last week was not a fun one 😩.
