Hello,
thanks for the query.
Symptoms of painful urination suggests urinary tract infection.
I suggest you to get a urine routine and microscopy done.
Drink lot of water, antispasmodic for pain relief.
Treatment of UTI is very important in pregnancy to avoid kidney damage and preterm delivery.
Folic caid and ferrous ascorbate tablets will not cause painful urination.
Hope this helps.

Dr Nilofer
