Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns. iron ( livogen-z) and folic acid are given to prevent anemia and child birth defect due to nutrition deficiency. so is a must to take. during pregnancy and delivery and breast feeding your body requirement of blood and iron increases which cannot be provided by even an healthy diet hence iron tablets are given. it is important to take it regularly. see to it you take it after food or else can get stomach pain. Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to ask me a question directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead. Best Regards! Dr. Arunmozhi varman
