Hematological physiological changes during gestation are intended to compensate and support pregnancy-related changes in the woman�s body. In pregnancy there is a dilution of the known Hb concentration known as gestational hemodilution or physiological pregnancy anemia. On a group of 300 pregnant women with different forms of anemia, we followed its implications on the evolution of pregnancy, its role in the determinism of premature labor, and its role in the apparition of intrauterine growth retardation. In 46 cases (15.33%) we reported premature births, in 23 (7.66%) of the cases we considered that anemia was the main (unique) cause of premature birth, in other cases (84.67%) anemia associated with other etiologic factors of premature birth. Comparing the incidence of preterm birth with a group of 300 pregnant women without anemia revealed the incidence of premature birth is 3 times less and is represented by 12 cases (4%) and 2 times less for intrauterine growth retardation represented by 16 cases (5.33%). Pregnancy anemia can cause a frequent pathology with major consequences in pregnancy development during birth and fetal development involving 15.33% of preterm births and 12.35% of cases of intrauterine growth retardation. In the current social and economic context, it is necessary to prophylactically administer iron for pregnant women from 20 weeks of gestation, at least 30mg / day for prophylaxis of pathology due to iron deficiency.
