Q: heavy menstrual bleeding, 2 months postpartum filling a pad within an hour and feeling very weak, should i take iron pills?

: See doctor. You need to address the cause of bleeding that is making you anemic. Take oral iron and multivitamins, but that is not a substitute for medical evaluation and treatment. Wish you good health!
