Abstract:
Background: Anemia is a serious health problem associated with several types of maternal morbidity, and may negatively affect the pregnancy outcomes. There are multiple studies showing that maternal iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy can cause low birth weight, but there were conflicting results about the effect of anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy on the fetal weights.
