Yes taking iron tablet in the night leads to constipation because iron slows the digestion process already our pregnancy harmones slows the digestion iron make it worse. have your iron in the morning and calcium in the night. I follow this as Dr. Shilpitha told me and I have no issues. Fibre rich foods with plenty of liquids is of course must.

do talk to your doc.. after taking iron tabs either you are constipated or having loose motions.. I was suffering from loose motion.. doc adviced me to take tabs on alternate days.. once it settles take everyday.. it will b better if you talk to your doc as constipation is not good during pregnancy.

So both cures need to go hand in hand. You need to take loads of fluids , roughage and high fiber.
