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.
