Anaemia is not one disease, but condition which results from a number of different pathologies. It can be defined as a reduction from normal of the quantity of haemoglobin in the blood. Aims and Objectives: The main aim of the study is to access the prevalence of anemia & impact of anemia on neonatal birth in pregnant women?s To assess the prevalence of patient with anemia during pregnancy, the neonatal outcome among Anemic pregnant women & improve maternal & fetal health, by primary health care. Settings and Design: This study design was a Prospective observational study. Methodology: The study was conducted on 90 anemia pregnancy women who attended the ANT care. Clinic at Government general secondary Health care Hospital Madanapalle from October 2022 to March 2023. Results and Discussion: The significant maternal outcome in anemic pregnant was C-section 73 (81.1%), LSCS 73(81%), PPH 39 (43.3 %) and followed by preterm delivery 3 (3.3%). Pre-eclampsia, postpartum depression polyhydramnios were also less commonly associated adverse effects of maternal anemia. The significant fetal outcomes that were associated with maternal anemia are low birth weight 36 (0.4%), jaundice 37 (0.41%) birth asphyxia 29 (0.32%). Seizure, cord around neck was also less commonly associated adverse effects of maternal anaemia. Conclusion: The significant maternal outcome in anemic pregnant in C-section & NVDare 73(81.1%), LSCS73 (81%), PPH 51(56.6%) and followed by preterm delivery 4 (0.4%). Pre eclampsia, postpartum depression, Oligohydramnios 20(22.2%), polyhydramnios were also less commonly associated adverse effects of maternal anaemia. The significant Fetal outcomes that were associated with maternal anemia are low birth weight 43(47.7%), jaundice43(47.7%)birthasphyxia35(38.8%).
