Evaluation of Hematological Values of Pregnant Non-Exercisers During The First Trimester of Pregnancy: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: In state of pregnancy many physiological and haematological changes are observed in the body, which can be considered as pathological in the non-pregnant state. It is also one of the physiological state in which marked haematological variations from the normal are seen. The haematological values have direct influence on pregnancy and its possible outcome. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of general pathology with collaboration of department of gynaecology. A total of 102 pregnant women were selected in their first trimester of pregnancy as study samples in our analysis over a period of one year. The age group selected was from 22years-39 years of age. It was confirmed with series of questions whether the women were exercising on daily basis. Results: Considering the haemoglobin levels, 81% of non-exercising women (61) had levels less than 11gm/dl and 12% of exercising women (3) had levels less than 11 gm/dl. Considering the blood pressure levels 41 % of non-exercising women had a continuous low blood pressure less than 120/80 mm hg, and hardly any evidence of blood pressure alteration was observed. Conclusion: In conclusion, exercise does not appear to be a limiting factor in haematological values in the first trimester of pregnancy.
