Low iron levels can occur after delivery due to blood loss and increased nutritional needs. Iron supplements with folic acid are commonly used to help increase haemoglobin and improve iron stores in the body. Eating iron-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, lentils, dates, and jaggery can also support recovery. Consult a doctor and check your haemoglobin level before starting any iron tablet, so the right medicine and dose can be advised.

Iron tablets such as Autrin can sometimes cause stomach upset or loose motions in some people. However, treating low haemoglobin during pregnancy is very important for both the mother and the baby. Taking the tablet after food may help reduce stomach discomfort. Consult your doctor before stopping or switching to Ayurvedic medicines, so the safest option for your pregnancy can be advised.
