Anemia in pregnancy is a common concern, and it can have significant implications for both the mother and the developing fetus. However, it is sometimes underdiagnosed for several reasons.
Mild to moderate anemia in pregnancy may be asymptomatic or present with vague symptoms that can be overlooked. Fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath are common symptoms of anemia, but these can also be attributed to the normal changes and demands of pregnancy. As a result, healthcare providers may not always associate these symptoms with anemia.
