Abstract :

Anaemia is very common hematological disorder in pregnancy and also commonest public health problem in India. Iron deficiency is more common cause of anemia in pregnancy in India. Though most of anemia in pregnancy are preventable and curable, it is still major cause of mortality and morbidity in pregnancy, i.e. both to the mother and the fetus. Present study was carried out in Cama and Albless Hospital, Mumbai where 436 cases were studied over the span of 12 months. Anemia is a major burden in developing countries like India and especially in India. In present study where its maternal and fetal outcome studies, with comparison with many similar studies, it is found out that it has vast effect in maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity, but with supplementary treatment of ferrous sulphate and folic acid, vitamin c, deworming, parenteral iron and blood transfusion after the early diagnosis, many lethal maternal and fetal outcomes are preventable. Factors like preterm rupture of memanes are identified earlier and hence the maternal outcome like puerperal infection, wound infection, increased morbidity are prevented .
