Patient's question:
Sure, I can help with that. However, you haven't provided the content to be translated. Please provide the text you want to be translated into English, and I'll assist you accordingly.Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women are affected by certain physiological factors (such as an average increase of 50% in blood volume during pregnancy, morning sickness, poor appetite, etc.), which can lead to a relative decrease in hemoglobin in the blood or insufficient intake of nutrients such as iron, folic acid, and vitamins, resulting in insufficient hemoglobin. When a pregnant woman's hemoglobin level drops below a certain threshold, anemia occurs. Severe anemia in pregnant women can cause fetal hypoxia due to insufficient oxygen transport by hemoglobin, leading to intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth, or even stillbirth.
