“…Another study concludes that gestational anemia is common in young mothers with does not comply with our findings ( Opitasari and Andayasari, 2015 ), In present study the anemia is predominantly normocytic normochromic variety with an incidence of 108(52.4%),similar results were reported by Melku ( Melku et al, 2014 ) showing significant normocytic normochromic anemia, study from the mount Cameroon area shows anemia with 32.6% hypochromia, and 32.6% microcytosis which is greater than our findings. In our study it is found that 77 of the babies has low Apgar at 1 min, who are born to anemic mothers As compared to only 12 babies with low Apgar score in non-anemic mothers, this is consistent with study of Farah et al, which suggest there is 2.1 times increase incidence of low Apgar score in anemic mothers than non-anemic ( Lone et al, 2004 ), another study also favors our findings that different ranges of Hb, will affect the maternal outcome in weight, Apgar and anthropometric indices of newborn ( Afifi et al, 2013 ) whereas according to Cinzia ( Orlandini et al, 2017 ) there is no effect of anemia on the Apgar of the new born. Apgar at 5 mins also has 70 babies with depressed Apgar in anemic as compared to 10 in non- anemic mothers, similarly study conducted at Rawalpindi shows linear relationship between Apgar score at 1 and 5 mins of babies born to anemic and non-anemic mothers Ahmad and Kalsoom, 2015 ) In this study the birth low weight of the babies born to anemic mothers is found out be 47.5% which is consistent to study by Shweta ( Kumari et al, 2015 ) according to which anemia leads to 32.9% of low birth weight babies.…”

Background Anemia in pregnancy is a globally health-related issue, that affects both mothers and their newborn. Anemia during pregnancy across the world involves approximately 38% of the world population. To evaluate the effect of gestational anemia on perinatal outcome in the population. The aim of present study is to evaluate the effect of gestational anemia on perinatal outcome in the population of Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. Methods A cross-sectional comparative analysis was conducted among pregnant mothers who were listed to give birth at Liaquat University of medical and health sciences Jamshoro/Hyderabad during the period of September 2018 to September 2019. The study population 400 were selected by convenient random sampling, and grouped into 2 on the basis of their Hb levels, with Hb < 11 gm% they were classified as anemic mothers, Hb ≥ 11 gm% were termed as non-anemic mothers, data was collected on the preformed questionnaire, and was analyzed on SPSS 21. Results The prevalence of anemia was 51.5% in in total population out of which, the incidence of normocytic normochromic anemia was highest 52.4 %microcytic hypochromic anemia was found in 19.4%, Overall, extremely low Apgar was found in 53 anemics, and 8 non. anemic mother’s infants, LBW incidence was 47.5 %; in anemic mothers, and 15.4 % in non-anemic group, the term, small for gestational age infants were 14.5% in anemic mothers, and 3.6% in non-anemic mothers, there were 36 preterm births to anemic mothers and 10 in non-anemic mothers. The incidence of caesarian section is 53.3% in anemic mothers compared to 30.9% in non-anemic mothers. Conclusions Anemia in pregnancy significantly increases risks of low Apgar, LBW, term SGA, preterm birth, and an increase incidence of caesarian section.

“…Besides, poor nutrition during pregnancy, especially deficiencies of certain vitamins and minerals, have been associated with negative pregnancy outcomes for both the mother and the infant. Severe iron-deficiency anemia has been linked to preterm labor [11], poor anthropometric measures [12,13] and birth asphyxia [13]. Studies on the impact of maternal malnutrition during lactation are rare.…”

Background: Despite significant gains and progress in the last decade, malnutrition remains a major public health problem in Ethiopia. Pregnant and lactating women (PLW), along with children, are among the most vulnerable groups of population during emergencies and droughts. Identifying and targeting of PLW with malnutrition is among the priorities in humanitarian emergencies. However, there is dearth of evidence on PLW nutritional status and its determinants in humanitarian context. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 kebeles of Rayitu district of Ethiopia in June 2013. A total of 900 PLW were assessed for malnutrition using mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC). Result: Using MUAC < 21 cm as a criteria, 216 (24%) surveyed mothers were found to be malnourished. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, those mothers who did not received antenatal care (ANC) during their pregnancy had 1.83 higher odds of (adjusted odds ratio[AOR] = 1.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.10,3. 02) to be malnourished (MUAC < 21 cm) as compared to mothers who received ANC. Housewives had lower odds of (AOR = 0.59, 95 %CI: 0.37, 0.95) to be malnourished compared to those who engaged in as a pastoralist. Mothers belonging to families from which at least one person did not receive targeted supplementary feeding (TSF) in the 6 months before the study had lower odds of (AOR = 0.38, 95 %CI:0.23,0.62) to have acute malnutrition compared to those who lived in families who received TSF. Conclusions: Malnutrition is common among PLW in humanitarian settings, including those with ongoing interventions. Attending antenatal care, maternal occupational status and being a member of families who received TSF were factors associated with maternal nutritional status in this study. This signifies the need for sustainable solutions that address the high prevalence of malnutrition among PLW. Interventions targeting health system responses such as comprehensive nutrition education, support through antenatal care and women empowerment are recommended.

“…Contradicting data from 3 rd world countries where, among the well-nourished maternal population, lower iron status of expecting mothers is affiliated with higher birth weight and longer pregnancies. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] The usual term placenta is about 22 cm in diameter and 2.0 to 2.5 cm thick. However, the measurements can vary considerably, and placentas generally are not weighed in the delivery room.…”

Background: To assess the changes occurring in the placenta due to anemia, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and whether these changes were reversible with treatment when they were diagnosed in early stages. Subjects and Methods: The study is conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, DVVPF’s Medical College, Ahmednagar on 200 anemic patients, 180 PIH patients and 650 GDM patients. Placentae were collected, stored in a 10% formalin solution. Morphological changes in respect to shape, weight, diameter, thickness, number of cotyledons and site of insertion of the cord are observed and documented. Results: In anemic patients who has undergone treatment, there were a smaller number of irregular (37/100) and round (63/100) round placentae were seen, whereas in the untreated anemic group, round (09/100) round and irregular (91/100) irregular placentae were seen. In PIH group with treatment, round (57/90) placentae and irregular (33/90) placentae were seen, whereas, in the untreated group, 13/100 round/oval placentae were observed and 77/100 irregular placentae were seen. Conclusion: Morphology of placenta is on error mode in untreated anemia, PIH and GDM. Diagnosis in the first trimester and on consequent treatment till the delivery is resulting in decreasing of irregular morphology of placenta and wellbeing of newborns.
