Abstract
The present study revealed that the prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women was 57% which is a severe public health problem. The foregoing discussion has indicated that anaemia during pregnancy is a result of many factors, including late pregnancy, lack of formal employment and economic autonomy, poor nutritional status and late ANC booking and not taking IFAS during the current pregnancy. All these factors lead to poor health condition of the pregnant women thus by the time such mothers attend for ANC, they are already in anaemic state. In Nigeria, the current strategy for reducing anaemia during pregnancy includes the provision of iron and folic acid tablets, advice on dietary intake, diagnosis and treatment of malaria and hookworms. IFAS is the most common and cost-effective strategy used to control anaemia in the developing countries including Nigeria and is used as both a preventive measure and a treatment option. However, in spite of the WHO and Nigeria national guidelines recommendations, the study revealed that ANC booking and starting to take IFAS was too late. This late ANC booking is probably due to the fact that women with low socioeconomic situation have lack of access to education and understanding about health related issues which can contribute to delays in seeking antenatal care and makes them prone to different health problems like anaemia.
