“…The prevalence of anaemia among the delivered women was 16.11% (95% CI: 11.42, 21.78). The result in this study is low while we compared with a study done in Jimma, Ethiopia (27.4%) 38 , Northwest Ethiopia (25.2%) 39 , India (78.45%) 40 , Egypt (72%) 41 , and Turkey (27%) 42 . This variation might be due to eligibility criteria like pregnancy complicated with diabetics, preeclampsia, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, and malaria were considered in these studies but excluded in our study.…”

Low birth weight is an indicator of maternal-related multifactorial problems such as malnutrition, illness, and work overload. As a result, low birth weight is associated with maternal anaemia, and both of them were significant public health issues in developing nations. Low birth weight and anaemia are caused by insufficient nutrient intake, which is especially severe during pregnancy. So, this study aimed to assess the effect of maternal anaemia during the late trimester on low birth weight among newborns in Northwest Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 211 participants for the primary data collection. Face-to-face interviews were used to collect data, while blood samples were collected using standard operating procedures. For further analysis, the data file was imported into Stata version 16 (MP) software. The binary logistic regression model was used to investigate significant factors related to low birth weight. Finally, the statistical significance of the variables was determined using a p value of ≤ 0.05. The prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in the late trimester and newborns was 34 (16.11%, 95% CI: 11.42, 21.78) and 64 (30.33%, 95% CI: 24.20, 37.01), respectively. The mean ± standard deviation of the newborn babies' weight was 3.19 ± 0.49 kg. The proportion of low birth weight among newborns was 26 (12.32%, 95% CI: 8.20, 17.53%). The independent effect of anaemia on low birth weight was 4.19 times while all other factors were constant (COR = 4.19, 95% CI: 1.70, 10.30). Maternal educational status [unable to read and write (AOR = 10.94, 95% CI: 1.74, 68.58) and attained secondary education (AOR = 8.06, 95% CI: 1.53, 42.36)], and maternal anaemia (AOR = 3.51, 95% CI: 1.29, 9.55) were associated with low birth weight after adjusting with all other variables. In this study, the proportion of low birth weight was high. Here, maternal anaemia alone had a significant independent role in the development of low birth weight. Maternal education status and anaemic conditions were associated with low birth weight among newborns. Early detection and treatment of maternal anaemia during pregnancy is crucial with the usual nutritional-related care.

“…However, although it is common in pregnancy, anemia is not found to be related with placental weight in various studies. (13,14) Similarly, in our study we did not find correlation between fetal anemia and placental weight.…”

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether various antenatal factors affect placental weight in term pregnant women who gave birth vaginally. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted between January and August 2022 in Karaman Training and Research Hospital. Six hundred and thirty parturients after thirtyseventh gestational week with vaginal delivery were enrolled to this study. The maternal age, parity, body mass index, chronic diseases, and placental weight, weight, length and gender of he newborns were documented. Primary outcome of this study was to evaluate the factors such as age, body mass index, parity, anemia and chronic disesase of mothers and weight of the newborns that may affect placental mass. Assessment of the influence of gender as well as tobacco usage during pregnancy was a secondary outcome of this study. Linear regression analyses with Enter methos was applied while evaluating the factors affecting placental weight. Results: As we evaluated the findings of the study, we found that birth weight and parity had a statistically significant influence on placental weight (p>0,001 and p=0,024 ,respectively). In primipar pregnants , the average weight of the placenta was 580 grams, whereas it was 600 grams in multiparas (p=0,008). Only gestational diabetes was shown to have a significant effect on placental weight when 13 disease categories were investigated (p=0,024).Body mass index of mothers , maternal anemia with hemoglobin level ≤11 gr/dL and smoking habitus had no effect on placental weight. Conclusion: The results of this study support , parity , birthweight of the newborn and gestational diabetes mellitus are critical factors affecting placental weight.

“…It stems from the additionally increased blood volume (by 10–20% compared to a singleton pregnancy), increased red blood count (up to the 20th week of pregnancy by 20–25% compared to a singleton pregnancy) and different needs of the mother and her children [ 15 , 50 , 68 ]. Anemia in women pregnant with twins occurs 2.4–4 times more frequently than in women with a singleton pregnancy and affects 30–45% of pregnant women in the third trimester [ 3 , 68 , 89 ]. Anemia in pregnancy is generally defined as a hemoglobin concentration below 11.0 g/dL in the first and third trimester of pregnancy and ≤10.5 g/dL in the second trimester [ 3 ], although according to some experts, the limit hemoglobin concentration in the third trimester is 10.5 g/dL [ 87 , 90 ].…”

Recommendations for nutrition and the use of dietary supplements for pregnant women are updated on regular basis but it remains to be seen to what extent they may be applicable in twin pregnancies. The aim of this narrative review is to present the current state of knowledge about the energy and nutrient demand in twin pregnancy. There is general consensus in literature that the energy demand is higher than in a singleton pregnancy, but there is a lack of position statements from scientific societies on specific energy intake that is required. In turn, recommended maternal weight gain, which favors the normal weight of the neonate, has been determined. There is even a larger knowledge gap when it comes to vitamins and minerals, the body stores of which are theoretically used up faster. The greatest number of studies so far focused on vitamin D, and most of them concluded that its concentration in maternal blood is lower in twin as compared to singleton pregnancy. Few randomized studies focus on iron supplementation and there are no other studies that would assess dietary interventions. In light of a growing incidence of multiple pregnancies, more studies are necessary to establish the nutritional demands of the mother and the course of action for adequate supplementation.
