Background: Maternal anaemia is a common problem in pregnancy, particularly in developing countries. Iron requirements increase during pregnancy, and a failure to maintain sufficient levels of iron may result in adverse maternal-fetal consequences.
Aim of study: To determine the effect of maternal anaemia on fetal cord blood haemoglobin & its birth weight.Patients & Methods: The study was conducted in Babylon Teaching Hospital for Gynaecology & Paediatrics from February 2008 to February 2009. The study included ninety pregnant women at term who attended the labour room & they were in labour. Fifty women were anaemic with a haemoglobin level less than 11 g/dL, while the other fourty had normal haemoglobin. Women under study were assessed & followed up through out labour. After delivery of the baby, the cord clamped & divided then blood sample taken from the cord & sent for PCV assessment. The newborn weighed and the results compared between the two groups.
Results: cord blood haemoglobin & newborns weights were lower in anaemic women compared to non-anaemic women at the same gestation.
Conclusion:
• maternal anaemia has a lot of consequences including neonatal complications like neonatal anaemia.• There is a positive relation between maternal haemoglobin fetal cord blood haemoglobin
Recommendations: Optimization of maternal haemoglobin with good nutrition, iron supplementation & good spacing between pregnancies will avoid a lot of complication of maternal anaemia.
