Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women is thought to be associated with an increased risk of giving birth to low birth weight (LBW) babies. This study aims to conduct a literature review of the relationship between anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW. The literature review was carried out by searching for research articles in electronic databases. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were then analyzed descriptively. Based on the 6 articles reviewed, there is a significant relationship between anemia in pregnant women and an increased risk of giving birth to LBW. Pregnant women with anemia have a higher risk of giving birth to LBW babies than those without anemia. It is suspected that anemia interferes with the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, thereby inhibiting its growth. Anemia in pregnant women is associated with an increased risk of LBW. Detection and treatment of anemia from early pregnancy is important to prevent complications of LBW.
