Most of people (46%) of people were belongs 2nd pregnancy, 40% were of 1st and 14% were belongs to 3rd pregnancy. pregnant woman was considered anaemic if haemoglobin was <11 g/dl. Severity of anaemia was measured as follows: mild if Hb was 9.0–10.9 g/dl; moderate if Hb was 7.0–8.9 g/dl; and severe if Hb was <7.0 g/dl. Most of patients (62%) were suffering with anaemia. About 33% of patients were anaemic throughout pregnancy. Severe anaemia was observed in 12 patients. Most of pregnant mothers were delivered through caesarean section and normal delivery is noted in only 33% of pregnant people.
