Anaemia is usually caused by lack of iron. Iron is in red meat, chicken, beans and greens so eating lots of these can help. You can also take iron tablets. Anemia is common in pregnant women and can cause problems for the mother and child. To prevent it pregnant women should eat food with lots of iron and take iron tablets which can be obtained through a health worker.
