In this study we will compare between Vitamin C with iron supplement and iron supplement alone in prevention of anemia in pregnancy.
Anemia in pregnancy associated with Diabetes during pregnancy 15.9 % Fetal abnormalities in blood oxygen causing fetal non reassuring 9.4% , Preterm delivery 8.2 %, Amniotic fluid insufficiency 1.95 %, 10.6 % of infants had complications after birth, 9.7 % of infants were hospitalized in intensive care units with birth weight less than 2,500 grams .

This may be caused by receiving the element. not enough iron or there is a loss of iron from blood loss which is important and should pay attention to prevent and solve such problems. Which Vitamin C promotes iron absorption. Vitamin C combined with iron has been studied. It clearly increases hemoglobin and hematocrit. And is safe for pregnant women and babies. There is also no evidence that vitamin C is a carcinogen, or a cause of birth defects or toxicity. However, there are no studies related to the combination of vitamin C and iron in pregnant women at risk of anemia. To solve the problem and prevent the consequences of the above mentioned anemia. In this study we will compare between Vitamin C with iron supplement and iron supplement alone in prevention of anemia in pregnancy.
