We have all heard about anemia, but have you ever thought about the significance behind treating it in a sensitive population, like pregnant mothers? Tune in as Dr. Suzanne Dixon and Katlyn Moss BSN define anemia during pregnancy; especially highlighting the importance of screening for anemia regularly. Treating anemia during pregnancy can decrease the risk of maternal morbidity, problems with breastfeeding, and decrease the occurrence of neuro-development disorders and low-birth weight. This episode will foreground the lab numbers and procedures to best treat anemia in pregnancy.
