Iron tablets making me feel crap!

Do I carry on taking them ? I’m constipated so much. So I’ve had shooting pains in my bum, belly ache on and off, and not really hungry ! Would you continue to take the iron tablets prescribed ? Apparently my iron was “ abit “ low from my blood test the other week ( 28 week bloods )
will this ease over time if I carry on taking them ? Or would you stop ?
I did phone doctors but they can’t speak to me till Wednesday which isn’t helpful now ! X

I would stop and buy iron bisglycinate. (Next day delivery on Amazon) It has better bioavailability and less gastrointestinal side effects.
Take some fybogel, it’s safe to take daily, even in pregnancy.
