Dear Patient,

Delivery is dangerous on such low levels, she should follow her doctor's advice on an iron replacement. Take iron supplements. Bring her vitamin D levels upto the mark and take calciplus sachet regularly. Have lots of water and energizing foods. Give her dates, spinach, apple, pomegranate, lots of liver, etc to eat to build up her iron levels naturally. Keep eating healthy and hoping for the best for mother and child
