I did not know that you shouldn't take calcium the same time as an iron supplement
Or iron is better absorbed with Vitamin C.

Is there any others I don't know?

I remember reading that on the iron packaging as well. For my iron supplement, my OB recommended vitron c because it already has the vitamin c in it. I'm not sure if you're taking an antacid at all, but that shouldn't be taken within two hours of the iron as well.

I did not know this? Now I have to ask my dr about it

jessimi06, thanks! Right now the babies don't seem to like Tums, just another thing that makes me hurl. But that's great info! I'll keep that in mind as the morning sickness goes away and the heartburn increases!
