Abstract
Background: Maternal anaemia is common medical disorder in developing countries. Anaemia in pregnancy results in complications such as low birth weight, preterm birth, increased fetal mortality and morbidity. Also, it has reported to increase the risk of adverse perinatal outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between haemoglobin levels in third trimester in pregnant women and the birth weight of baby. Methods: This is a observational study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, govt. medical college balasore. Data of 100 pregnant women and newborn which is taken from records are included in the study. All pregnant women with term gestation, singleton pregnancy, with live fetus willing to participate in the study were included. Results: Of 100 women, 65 had anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia was 65% of which 76% had mild anaemia, 24% had moderate anaemia. Mean Hb levels were 10.9gm/dl among non-anaemic mothers and mean birth weight was 2.91 Kg whereas mean hemoglobin level 9.1gm/dl and 2 in anaemic mothers and mean birth weight of baby was 2.38kg. Conclusions: Anaemia in pregnancy is one of the causes of poor perinatal outcome. Hence proper antenatal care and counseling can reduce occurrence of anaemia in pregnancy.
