First of all you both have patience and not to worry.
You have to do these thing-
1)Visit to gynae every 15days or in a wk. as and when required for checkup.
2)Continue with your drugs and start taking vitamin-C in a form of lime water.
3)Start taking food which are rich in its iron content like leafy vegetable,jaggery etc.
4)Take proper rest and proper diet.
Everything will be fine.
