Abstract Thirty healthy pregnant women (20-30 years) from each trimester of pregnancy were diagnosed for different types of anaemia. An additional group of thirty normal healthy females (non-pregnant, non-lactating) of similar age was also selected as control. The study revealed that during pregnancy, majority of expectant mothers in the third trimester were suffering from different forms of anaemia. In contrary to earlier studies conducted, the control group showed higher percentage of anaemic subjects.
