What are the effects of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women on the fetus?

Patient's question:

A woman is 38 years old this year. For a while, she felt very tired and, after checking into the hospital, found out she was sick. Please ask: What are the effects of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

It may affect the child's growth and development and intellectual development. If a pregnant woman lacks iron, the fetus will also lack iron. Iron affects the baby's memory. The baby's intellectual development may be impaired, and memory may deteriorate. During daily life, pregnant women should pay attention to digesting iron and eat more iron-rich foods, such as some animal blood, lean meat, black fungus, etc. Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, do more aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
