Hi Monika, this may be due to iron intake. Just have lots of fluids including water and juices. And once let your doctor know about this.

hi Monika ! In addition what Puloma has mentioned please keep a gap of 8 to 10 hours between iron and Calcium tablets as calcium hinders iron absorption. so ur body won't be able to absorb complete iron as is the requirements. instead take vitamin C rich food which boost iron absorption ..
