Anaemia is a global health problem which is commonly associated with pregnancy and experienced by almost all pregnant women during pregnancy. Out of 400 pregnant women 261 (65.2%) were found anaemic and out of these 33 were found with multi gravidity. Prevalence of anaemia was higher (77.1%) among women with 3 pregnancies and 100% pregnant women were found anaemic with more than three pregnancies. It is highly recommended that awareness programmes about consequences of multiple and frequent pregnancies should organized by the government and family planning methods must be adopted by the parents.
