Abstract
Anemia is the commonest medical disorder in pregnancy and has a
varied prevalence, aetiology and degree of severity in different
populations, being more common in non-industrialised countries. Iron
deficiency anemia is the commonest nutritional deficiency in pregnancy
followed by folate deficiency anemia. Deficiency of vitamin B12 is
.: relatively less common in non-industrialised countries.
Minimal values for both low birth weight and preterm birth
occurred at maternal hemoglobin concentrations below the current cut-off
value for anemia during pregnancy (110 giL) in a number of studies.

Aim of the Work:
The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the
hemoglobin concentration of the pregnant women and its effect on
neonatal outcome.
Subjects and Methods:
• This study included 100 neonates of anemic pregnant women and 30
neonates ofnorrnal pregnant non anemic women as a control group.
• Hemoglobin concentration was determined at the 1st
, 2nd and 3rd
trimesters.
• History of iron and folic acid during pregnancy was determined.
• We followed up the pregnant women during pregnancy until delivery
and observation of weight of the baby at birth gestational age, Apgar
score at 1 and 5 minutes, growth assessment.
