First of all, iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is very common, and it is also a very common complication we encounter in prenatal screening. The reason for anemia during pregnancy is due to the increased demand for iron as the fetus grows, and maternal intake is insufficient.
Iron deficiency anemia can lead to severe bleeding during childbirth, and if a cesarean section is performed, it may adversely affect the healing of the incision. Furthermore, iron deficiency anemia may affect fetal intelligence.
Therefore, it is crucial to ensure proper prenatal screening during pregnancy to prevent severe anemia. If anemia is severe, blood transfusion treatment may be necessary during childbirth or cesarean delivery.
