What is the effect of iron deficiency anemia on the fetus

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with anemia lead to insufficient iron reserves in the fetus, and the child will inevitably be anemic after birth. Anemia can, first, reduce the child's resistance, making them very prone to colds and diarrhea; second, it can affect the child's intellectual development, leading to a lower IQ.
