Abstract
Anemia is a prevailing health issue faced by many women during their pregnancy. World Health Organisation has proposed the level of hemoglobin in women during pregnancy to classify anemia. The present work was done on 204 women subjects of Darbhanga district who were pregnant, to study the pattern of anemia specially in multigravida women. Data was collected from different antenatal units. In the present study, we deduced that maximum number of women were anemic, also anemia had a higher prevalence in women with higher parity.
