welcome
I understand your query, dear don't worry iron infusion will not affect you and your baby infact it will help to cope up with iron deficiency.
As infusion are painful you can switched to oral iron and also have iron rich food like jaggery, green vegetables, peas etc. and also take iron tablet with vitamin -C it will increase absorption of iron.
Hope you are satisfied
Thanks
