1) Anaemia is common in pregnancy due to physiological haemodilution which exceeds the increased production of red blood cells. The most common cause is iron deficiency. 2) Regular antenatal iron supplementation is important to prevent anaemia in pregnancy and its clinical effects like fatigue, risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. 3) Oral iron therapy is the first-line treatment for iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy, with a daily dose of 30-60mg of elemental iron recommended. Intravenous iron may be used if oral iron is not tolerated or compliance is an issue.
