Abstract	The main objective of the research is to evaluate the prevalence and contributing factors of anemia during pregnancy. The study also sought to identify the negative effects of anemia during pregnancy. A total of 120 expectant mothers visiting the antenatal care having Complete Blood Count reports were included, then through a prepared questionnaire, determinants and adverse outcomes of anemia were evaluated. Chi square test was used to analyse the data. Statistical significance was defined as a P value of ≤0.05. The overall prevalence of anemia was (58%) and the most prevalent cause was due to iron deficiency (78.5%). High number of moderate anemia (61.4%) cases were observed. Age, rural areas, socioeconomic status, mother's occupation, education, current pregnancy trimester, religion, interval between pregnancies, information about anaemia, iron supplementation intake, vegetarian diet, eating fruits and vegetables, and drinking tea or coffee after meals were the determinants showed a P value of ≤0.05. Preterm labor, severe postpartum hemorrhage, increased ICU admission, low birth weighted baby and preterm birth were the adverse feto-maternal outcomes reported. This research examined the prevalence and determinants of anemia and its adverse outcomes among pregnant women and it was found a larger burden of maternal iron deficiency anemia posing concern for both the expecting mother and new-born specially in rural areas of India majorly due to poverty.
