Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by deficient hemoglobin synthesis and is the most common type of anemia during pregnancy, affecting 25% of pregnancies. It occurs when iron deficiency is severe enough to diminish red blood cell production and cause anemia. Key signs include pallor, fatigue, pica, exertional dyspnea, and listlessness. Diagnosis involves low levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, and serum ferritin. Treatment focuses on encouraging prenatal vitamin use, monitoring blood work, assessing diet and fetal heart rate, rest, and administering iron supplements.
