A. See if you have taken iron and calcium supplements for initial 11 months of your delivery it’s okay you don’t have to continue with it if you feel right healthy and physically fit in terms of your deficiencies and all and also folic acid is not advisable to be taken after pregnancy yet if you would want to take him and Iron or if you have not taken then I would recommend to go for Shalcal hd and orofor xt the first one is calcium supplement and the second one is an iron supplement you can take both of them once in a day so do not take them together take them separately like one in the afternoon and one in the evening like this
