Abstract

Background: One of the most common nutritional deficiencies that pregnant women have is anemia. Both the mother and the fetus' lives are in danger from anemia. There is ongoing debate over how much maternal anemia affects both maternal and newborn health. Preeclampsia is also linked to a constriction of the plasma volume, with evidence of diminished plasma volumes both throughout pregnancy and after delivery.  
Objectives: Studying the impact of maternal anemia during the third trimester on birth weight at delivery in a sample of infants whose mothers had mild preeclampsia is the goal of the study.   
Methodology: All patients were subjected to careful history-taking through clinical examination and laboratory investigations, including CBC, liver functions, and renal functions. Apgar score and birth weight were recorded for the studied neonates.
Results: A comparison between patients with normal and low Hb levels showed that neonates of mothers with normal Hb levels had significantly higher birth weight when compared with those with low Hb levels.  
Conclusion: There was an indirect correlation between maternal anemia and neonatal birth weight in women with mild preeclampsia.
