Fifty-five patients have been investigated for anaemia in pregnancy. Using the serum iron/T.I.B.C. ratio as a diagnostic index it has been found that iron deficiency exists in 60% of our expectant mothers with mild anaemia. This type of anaemia was more common in multiparous women and more frequent in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, There is, therefore, a strong indication for the routine administration of iron supplements to our women during pregnancy and the puerperium.
