Dr. Pallavi Manish Jawale

Abstract :

 Objective : This study was to observe haemoglobin levels and prevalence of anemia among pregnant women . Material and methods : Blood sample were collected carefully from the 500 pregnant women with 18–35 age group and transported to the laboratory for hemoglobin estimated by chemical analizer. Result:This study showed that the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy is 60%. It also showed that the PCV increased progressively from the first to the third trimester, while it decreases with advancing maternal age and parity. Intervention to prevent malaria in pregnancy such as mass literacy and public enlightenment, poverty eradication, antimalarial and antihelminths therapy, nutritional supplementation and routine use of haematenics throughout the stages of pregnancy would prove valuable preventive measures.
