For the fetus, because the fetus is the main receptor tissue for iron, in the process of competing for the uptake of maternal serum iron, fetal tissues dominate, and iron through the placenta is a one-way operation, will not be reversed from the fetus to the mother's reverse transport, so the general degree of iron deficiency in the fetus will not be too serious. However, when the mother is seriously deficient in iron, due to low hemoglobin and low oxygen uptake, it can cause chronic fetal hypoxia, resulting in fetal growth retardation, preterm delivery, stillbirth, and can cause neonatal anemia. This kind of baby is pale, the growth and development of all organs of the body are poor, the intelligence is also poorer than normal babies, and the reaction is slow.
Anemia of pregnancy, one is to prevent, before pregnancy that is, should be actively treated for hemorrhagic diseases, such as excessive menstruation, hookworm, etc., in order to increase iron reserves. Strengthen the family planning, avoid having too many children.

Iron supplements should be given from the 4th month of pregnancy, 0.3g of ferrous sulfate daily, and it is best to supplement vitamin C at the same time, which is conducive to the absorption of iron. Secondly, we should give active treatment to pregnant women suffering from anemia, according to the severity of anemia, give different doses, on the hemoglobin value & lt; 60g / L, close to the expected date of delivery or short-term need for cesarean section of pregnant women, can be given to transfusion to correct anemia.
