Journal Title: Voyager - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The present article reviews the effects of maternal anemia and iron deficiency on the pregnancy outcome. During pregnancy the fetal demand for iron increases daily maternal iron requirements. This demand by the developing fetus may cause anemia in mother due to iron deficiency and lowers the level of hemoglobin because of dilution effect (more circulating fluids dilute the RBCs). Low hemoglobin in pregnancy indicates iron deficiency and anemia which is associated with the risk of preterm labor (<37 weeks), low birth weight (<2.5 kg) and even growth restriction in babies. The present study shows the benefits of daily material iron or folic acid supplementation along with routine diet has maintained normal hemoglobin level in mother, improved development of her child during pregnancy, ultimately enhanced birth weight and progressive neonatal development.
