Brief Answer:
Iron tab should be taken to restore body iron.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for your information and I have gone through your query in detail.
I suggest you to start Iron supplements (Sidral Forte) as prescribed by your treating doctor as iron demand will be increased in the 3rd trimester and you may suffer from iron deficiency due to reduce of body iron, though hemoglobin level is good at present. You should continue other medicines also.
Do periodic check up and complete all necessary investigations. Take protein added diet and take adequate bed rest.
Hope, I have answered your query. Good luck and best wishes for motherhood.
