Severe anemia during pregnancy is a potentially hazardous hematological disorder. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report the global prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is 55.9%. In India, the highest prevalence of moderate anemia was found in Nagaon District (82.7%) noted by G. S. Toteja et al., in 2006. The present study was aimed to assess the relationship of placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers. The objectives of the study are to assess and compare placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers and to find an association between placental weight and fetal outcome with selected demographic variables in both groups. Quantitative research approach and comparative, descriptive design was used for the study. The study was conducted at Krishna hospital Karad by using Purposive sampling technique on 62 normal and 62 anemic mothers. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results shows that unpaired t test revealed that mean placental weight of anemic mothers was significantly higher than of normal mothers (p<0.05). Mean fetal weight of babies delivered to normal mothers was significantly higher than the babies delivered to anemic mothers (p<0.05) and length of babies delivered to normal mothers was significantly higher than babies delivered to anemic mothers (p<0.05). There was significant association was found between placental weight of normal mothers and monthly income of family, (p<0.05). The study concludes that correlation between placental weight and birth weight of babies shows significant difference with a positive correlation in both the groups. This means as the placental weight increases the birth weight also increases and vice-versa.

In India, the highest prevalence of moderate anemia was found in Nagaon District (82.7%) noted by G. S. Toteja et al., in 2006. The present study was aimed to assess the relationship of placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers. The objectives of the study are to assess and compare placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers and to find an association between placental weight and fetal outcome with selected demographic variables in both groups. Quantitative research approach and comparative, descriptive design was used for the study.
