Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the constipation and gastritis might be routinely seen in pregnancy due to progesterone hormone.For gastritis antacids can be continued and avoid spicy diet and oily diet.If the iron medication is aggravating the gastritis the preparation of iron can be changed or else injectable iron can be taken.For constipation laxatives can be taken.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres and high fibre diet to avoid constipation.Dont worry.
