What is the effect of iron deficiency on pregnant women?

Male  29 years old 2018-04-24
When I went to the obstetrical examination yesterday, I found out that I was a little iron deficient, but I didn't think it was a big deal, but I was still a bit worried. But what effect will pregnant women lack in iron have on the fetus?

    Iron deficiency is also a particularly dangerous thing for pregnant women. Iron is a key raw material for the synthesis of hemoglobin. Without iron, hemoglobin will not exist. Therefore, iron deficiency will lead to insufficient hemoglobin concentration, and then the blood's ability to transport oxygen is insufficient, resulting in fetal hypoxia. Simply put, pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia actually leave their children in a state of suffocation due to lack of oxygen!
