Hello lybrate-user. You need a tetanus injection at this point and at 30 weeks, I recommend that you go for tdap injection which will cover and protect against tetanus as well as diphtheria injection. Also you would be required to continue iron and calcium that you are taking till delivery as they will help with generating reserves in body for iron as well as calcium for bones. Also take multivitamins which will really help with your health during this period.

Yes these iron and calcium are needed for you and baby and should be continued till delivery and during breast feeding. Tetanus vaccination is usually given after 20-24 weeks.

Continue iron medication instead of syp. Calcimax you can take tab. Shelcal once daily at night after meals both medicines you need to continue throughout your pregnancy. Tt1 (1st dose of tetanus vaccine) you should take now. 2nd dose after one month of 1st dose.
