Anemia affects 20% of all females of childbearing age in the United States. Because of the subtlety of the symptoms, women are often unaware that they have this disorder, as they attribute the symptoms to the stresses of their daily lives. Possible problems for the fetus include increased risk of growth retardation, prematurity, intrauterine death, rupture of the amnion and infection.

Anemia's symptoms develop slowly. When someone says you look more pale than usual, for example, that could be your first clue. To check for yourself, look under your eyelids, lips and nail beds. If these areas look more wan or lifeless than usual, it may be a sign of anemia.
