We did a pilot study to determine the correlation of maternal Hemoglobin concentration at labor with birth weight in Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex Nowshera. We recruited cases from labor room irrespective of age and gender, while the exclusion criteria were all candidates taking oral or IV iron therapy. Birth weight of babies was recorded from chart of patients. Independent t- test was used to see the difference in birth weight of anemic and non-anemic mothers. We observed a statistically significant difference in the concentrations of hemoglobin of the mothers with birth weight of new born babies (P=0.001).
