    TLDR Iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy can cause serious health issues for both mother and baby.
    Iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy can lead to severe complications such as intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, low birth weight, and maternal and perinatal mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia are crucial to prevent these complications. Symptoms include pale skin, dizziness, and hair loss, among others. Monitoring hemoglobin and ferritin levels is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning, which can improve pregnancy outcomes.
