Pregnancy anemia is one of the important public health problems not only in Russian but also in another countries. Indeed, it is a known risk factor for many maternal and fetal complications. Anemia put to the worse many risk factors: young age, obstetrical factors (history of previous preterm or small- for gestational-age deliveries, plurality of pregnancy multiple or singleton); behavioral factors (smoking or tobacco usage, alcohol usage); medical conditions (diabetes, renal or cardio-respiratory diseases, chronic hypertension). If all pregnant women receive routine iron and folic acid, it is possible to prevent nutritional anemia. Therefore, 50 -100milligrams elemental iron and 500-1000 micrograms of folic acid daily for 100 days must be taken into national nutritional anaemia prophylaxis program to all pregnant women.
