Anemia in the second trimester of pregnancy has an impact on the fetus. When anemia in pregnant women is severe, it may cause hypoxia in the fetus, which may lead to fetal functional development retardation. In severe cases, premature delivery or stillbirth may occur. It is recommended that anemia is best to go to a doctor for iron supplementation. For treatment, you also need to eat foods rich in iron such as animal liver or animal blood in your usual diet.
