Can I take my iron pills and prenatal at the same time?

Yesss. @carlismommy12

yes it's okay to take them at the same time.

yuppp I do every day

6 hours apart ... my dr doesn't let me take mine at the same time

perfectly fine.. @carlismommy12

did your Dr say why? I've been separating them but my Dr never gave me any direction on taking them @javiersmom

okay thanks ladies @candacelouise @crunchymomma @ftm020216 @immaddoxsmommie2016

Cause you can over dose on iron

Yes when taking your iron pill drink some orange juice it helps it get in your system faster

if your prenatal pills don't have iron then it's fine but mine do

@carlismommy12, it's a lot of things than can make taking Iron less effective. . taking them apart ensure u get the full benefit from it.. (for instance, you shouldn't drink any tea with iron pills or foods rich in iron)

mine do too, I'll continue to take them separately. @javiersmom @ftm020216 wait I can't drink tea at all??? or just not around the time I take them?

@carlismommy12, when u take them.. me, i craved tea.. morning, noon & night.. my OB noticed my iron levels were slowly dropping and we discussed it, come to find out, i needed to take my prenatals with water, not sweet tea.. Lol, it was hard...

oh okay! thanks for the tip! I was sad for a minute. All I can drink is water and unsweet tea. I need my tea! lol even tho the unsweet part really sucks. 😣
