The gummies are missing iron and calcium typically. Most important early on is the folic acid and dha but you may get anemic as things progress without the iron.

My doctor said the gummies are fine. I've been taking an iron supplement because my red blood cell count was down and the gummies don't contain iron. Don't take anything extra without first clearing it with your doctor though!
