Hematological profile of pregnant women at St. Paul ’s Hospital Millennium Medical College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

ConclusionSignificant changes in selected hematological parameters between trimesters, and an anemia and thrombocytopenia of mild type were documented in this study. The commonest morphologic features were mostly characteristic features of iron deficiency anemia. These warrant the need for monitoring hematological parameters of pregnant women at any stage of the pregnancy to avoid adverse outcomes.
