Realizing I’ve failed my kids..
I don’t do well with pills..so I took prenatal gummies with both pregnancies..i didn’t have an iron issue with my first, now I do with my second, mind you it’s the same gummy vitamin brand..my glucose is also high & based off my urine samples, it has been high since February ..it was never brought up as being elevated during my appointments..but my levels weren’t high with my first..I’m actually very upset because now I’m realizing my first child’s brain didn’t develop all the way it should’ve (has speech problems) because I wasn’t told to take additional iron supplements or that iron isn’t in prenatal gummies & now I’m being told it’s low & I need them for the remainder of this pregnancy as if it’s going to help this babies brain tremendously with only 11 weeks left…feeling very regretful tbh..

I feel you are putting a lot of guilt on yourself. I understand how that can make you feel you failed them but you were only doing what you thought was right and sounds like your care team failed you because they should have guided you better. I did not know gummies didnt have iron. I do think taking the supplements now is better than going 11 weeks without.
