Abstract	Worldwide Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects approximately 25% population and in India it affects 80% of pregnant mothers. A prospective observational study was conducted to know relationship between IDA in pregnancy and its effects on maternal health during pregnancy, labour and postpartum. Pregnant mothers with singleton pregnancy with gestational age > 36 weeks were selected and were divided into two groups. Women with Hb >10 gm% classified in nonanemic group and those with Hb<10 were classified in anemic group. It was further confirmed by serum ferritin levels. Both groups were followed till delivery and effects of anemia on maternal health were studied. Number of vaginal deliveries, instrumental deliveries and cesarean section (LSCS) were similar in both groups but more anemic mothers required induction of labour. More anemic mothers had PPH 5(6.09%) as compared to 2(2.56%) in non anemic group. Only anemic mothers after PPH required blood transfusion 3(3.65%). 18 (21.95%) mothers in anemic group had other morbid symptoms whereas in nonanemic group 3(3.84%) had similar symptoms. The study emphasize that IDA is widely prevalent in pregnant mothers and is associated with life threatening conditions during pregnancy and childbirth. Prevention of IDA during pregnancy can prevent many serious maternal complications.
