Low hemoglobin (Hb) levels during delivery, also known as anemia, can pose various risks to both the mother and the baby.
- Increased risk of complications for the mother: Anemia during delivery can lead to increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage, fatigue, and infection.
- Potential issues for the baby: A low Hb level in the mother can affect the baby's growth and development, potentially resulting in a premature birth or low birth weight.
While the severity of complications depends on the degree of anemia, it's crucial to manage Hb levels during pregnancy through regular checkups, iron supplementation, and a healthy diet.
