Hi,
Anemia in pregnancy needs to be treated as early as possible as this may lead to many complications as the pregnancy advances- like, low-birth weight babies who are also anemic, premature labor, abortions, postpartum hemorrhages and in severe cases heart failure also. The medicines you are taking are safe for the baby. You can also supplement iron with your doctor's advice as you are about to enter the second trimester. Take plenty of greens, protein-rich food and fruits. Please have further suggestions from your doctor. Take care.
