Iron supplement

so I did the gestational diabetes test and the iron check at 28 weeks and they informed me that I passed the diabetes part but my iron is low and I gotta start a iron supplement.  A girl I know said the pill they gave her pass out.  What's a good one to take?

I recently went also maybe about a week ago & they told me I was anemic too. I couldn't take the pill so I'm taking it in liquid form.

I was anemic when I was in high school so my mom pounded it in my head to take iron pills with my prenatal vitamins. I use nature made 65 mg. they're super tiny but I always eat with my vitamins. One day I took them on an empty stomach and I threw up and it was the nastiest taste ever!
