I am in my pregnancy after the first trimester and want to take iron and calcium tablets. Which supplements are safe and suitable for me?

Iron and calcium in pregnancy after the first trimester are needed to support your baby?s growth and prevent weakness or low levels. Take them only as advised; a doctor may suggest suitable iron and calcium tablets based on your needs, and keep a few hours between them for better absorption. Include foods like green vegetables, fruits, milk, and nuts to support these nutrients, and drink enough water to avoid constipation from iron. Try to take iron with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits to improve absorption. If you notice stomach upset, severe constipation, or discomfort, it needs attention. Consult your doctor to choose the right supplements and doses for you.
