The two couples are anemic, what will happen to the baby after birth

The effects of anemia in pregnant women on the fetus depend on the severity and type of anemia. If the pregnant woman has only mild anemia and is treated promptly, it usually does not affect the fetus.

However, if the pregnant woman has moderate to severe anemia, it may lead to miscarriage, premature birth or low birth weight babies. It can also lead to a lack of oxygen in newborns.

1. It does not affect the fetus

If it is mild anemia, such as mild iron deficiency anemia, the symptoms can be improved after active iron supplementation, and the fetus is usually not affected at this time.

Second, it will affect the fetus

1. Miscarriage: When pregnant women are anemic, the hemoglobin content in the body is low, and the oxygen-carrying capacity is reduced, which may not be able to meet the needs of fetal growth and development in the womb, thus causing uterine contractions, resulting in threatened abortion or spontaneous abortion;

2. Preterm birth: when pregnant women are anemic, due to insufficient blood supply to the placenta, placental function may be reduced, which in turn causes fetal intrauterine distress and even induces premature birth;

3. Low birth weight infants: When pregnant women are anemic, the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced, which may make the fetus in a state of chronic hypoxia in the uterine cavity, resulting in fetal growth restriction and eventually low birth weight infants.

In addition to the above, long-term anemia in pregnant women also increases the risk of hypertension during pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women have regular pregnancy tests and exercise appropriately according to their own conditions to promote the recovery of the body. At the same time, pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid picky eaters and picky eaters, so as not to aggravate the condition.
