Hematologic Disorders in Pregnancy T2 CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Obstetrics & Gynecology, 11e YR 2013 FD 2013 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-163856-2 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=56970603 RD 2024/03/28 AB Anemia is a significant maternal problem during pregnancy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines anemia as a hemoglobin concentration of <11 g/dL (hematocrit of <33%) in the first or third trimester or a hemoglobin concentration of <10.5 g/dL (hematocrit <32%) in the second trimester. A pregnant woman will lose blood during delivery and the puerperium, and an anemic woman is at increased jeopardy of blood transfusion and its related complications.
