Abstract
Maternal nutrition is very essential determinant influence during the development of foetus. Inadequate intake or absorption of iron in conjunction with blood loss during pregnancy may contribute to anemia. Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world.

Pregnant women who had hemoglobin (Hb) value of < 11gm were selected. Total 80 anemic pregnant women were enrolled for the study. Out of 80, 28 (35%) belongs to primigravida and 52 (65%) multigravida. Among 80 participants, 54.54% were mild anemic, 43.92% were moderate and 3.54% were severe anemic. Other hematological parameters like RBC (Red blood cell) count, HCT (Hematocrit), MCV (Mean corpuscular volume), MCHC (Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), and MCH (Mean corpuscular hemoglobin) were also below the normal range. There is a need to monitor hemoglobin during pregnancy and there by improve the outcome of pregnancy. Keywords: Pregnancy, Trimester, Hemoglobin, Prevalence, Anemia, Gravida.
