Description
Background: Maternal haemoglobin levels affect pregnancy outcomes and the mother’s and neonate’s health. This cohort study examined the relationship between the mother’s blood haemoglobin levels over the three trimesters and the neonates at birth. Methods: About 200 pregnant Territory Care Centre patients participated in the study. Researchers measured the mother’s haemoglobin in the third trimester. After giving birth, they checked foetal and neonatal cord blood levels. To summarise haemoglobin levels, descriptive statistics such mean ± SD, range, median (IQR), and percentages were used. An ANOVA comparing trimesters and a correlation analysis were performed to determine associations between maternal, foetal, and neonatal haemoglobin levels. Results: Maternal haemoglobin levels dropped from 11.5 ± 1.2 g/dL in the first trimester to 11.2 ± 1.0 g/dL in the second trimester. It went up a little to 11.8 ± 1.3 g/dL in the third trimester. When the neonatal were born, their haemoglobin levels were always higher than their mothers’ levels. They were measuring 14.0 ± 1.5 g/dL. A lot of neonatal haemoglobin (13.8 ± 1.4 g/dL) was also seen. During the second and third trimesters, the number of participants whose haemoglobin levels were less than 11 g/dL went down. Conclusion: This study shows how changes in a mother’s blood levels during pregnancy affect the health of the neonatal and the mother. A healthy mother is very important during pregnancy because higher amounts of haemoglobin in the neonatal and mother indicate that the placenta is moving oxygen around well. Finding and treating maternal anaemia early may improve the result of the pregnancy, which shows how important it is to give full care to mothers.

A healthy mother is very important during pregnancy because higher amounts of haemoglobin in the neonatal and mother indicate that the placenta is moving oxygen around well.
