As it is during pregnancy, the blood gets diluted. Moreover, you mention that you have iron deficiency. Iron deficiency makes you anemic. Anemia during pregnancy makes the pregnant woman prone to many complications like weakness, infection, intrauterine growth retardation, excessive bleeding after delivery, after delivery infection, etc. Hence, even a non-academic woman also needs to take iron during pregnancy. Moreover, you are due for Cesarean delivery. So you should build your hemoglobin and make yourself fit for surgery otherwise you may require blood during surgery. Even anesthetic complications are also common in anemic patients.  The iron taken during pregnancy in part goes to the baby in the uterus giving the baby also iron storage. Autumn and Ferritin - both are good iron preparations. They are not only safe but are essential medicines during pregnancy. You may choose either of them. To achieve best results, please take these tablets about half an hour before the food. Iron absorption is best in acidic medium. Please do not take any antacids. They hamper the iron absorption. Along with the iron, please take good high protein diet as it is required along with iron to form hemoglobin. Please continue taking these tablets even after the delivery till you are breastfeeding your baby. I hope this helps you.  </s>
