Iron supplements and pregnacare plus

Hi everyone, just got my 28 weeks blood test and MW said that my iron levels are a bit low. So was prescribed ferrous fumarate 305mg to take 1 tablet twice a day. I actually thought it was quite a big amount per day 610mg. Is anyone else on the same situation? And I forgot to ask her if it's ok to take with pregnacare plus? which is the vitamin I take normally (I know I might be over the top but it's my first baby). Thank you in advance. 😊

The side effects of iron supplements can (but not always) be heavy going in terms of toileting. Sorry if TMI. I think I was told I could continue with pregnancare plus but I would recommend calling to ask for advice (and if you end up needing a stool softener… get it sooner rather than later 😫… sorry TMI again).
