प्रेगनेंसी में एनीमिया को कैसे ठीक करें? | Anemia in pregnancy In Hindi | Dr Neha Jadhav

Anemia during pregnancy, particularly iron deficiency anemia, is a widespread issue among Indian women due to insufficient iron intake. Hemoglobin, composed of iron and protein, is essential for oxygen transport, and its demand increases significantly during pregnancy to support both the mother and fetus. If this requirement is not met, severe health complications can arise. Pregnant women with iron deficiency often experience fatigue, weakness, breathlessness, and loss of appetite. To prevent anemia, folic acid supplements should be started early in pregnancy as they aid red blood cell formation and neural development. A balanced diet rich in iron and protein, including green leafy vegetables, black cereals, raisins, nuts, dairy, soy products, eggs, and chicken, is crucial. Recognizing the high prevalence of iron deficiency, government hospitals in India provide free iron and calcium supplements to pregnant women, and deworming during the second trimester is recommended to enhance nutrient absorption. Anemia severity is classified into mild (hemoglobin 10-10.9 g/dL, manageable with diet and supplements), moderate (7-10 g/dL, requiring intravenous iron therapy), and severe (below 7 g/dL, potentially life-threatening, necessitating blood transfusions). Maternal anemia also affects the baby, leading to low birth weight, developmental delays, lower IQ, and a weaker immune system, with extreme cases risking intrauterine fetal death. Therefore, regular hemoglobin check-ups, proper nutrition, timely supplementation, and medical intervention are essential to prevent anemia and ensure a healthy pregnancy for both mother and child.
