ResumeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the nutritional status of pregnant women attending antenatal care at the Bassila Zone Hospital. It is a prospective, descriptive and analytical study that took place from March 7 to May 21, 2019. All consenting pregnant women who accepted prenatal check-ups were included. Their weight and size were collected, blood samples were taken for Blood Count and Gout Thick/Parasite Density. They are subject to a series of questions relating to socio-demographic, obstetric, and nutritional characteristics. The data collected were analyzed using the Epi Info and Excel 2010 software. The probability values p <0.05 were considered statistically significant. The results of this study show that 350 pregnant women aged 16 to 45 were identified. 25% of pregnant women surveyed have a '' small size '' (T <1.55m). The prevalence of anemia is 67.7%. A predominance of moderate anemia is noted with 47.26% of cases followed by the mild form, 43.88% against 8.86% of severity. Normochromic normocytic anemia predominated with a rate of 62.44%. Cases of hypochromic microcytic anemia make 30.06%. The small "size" and anemia in pregnant women have a negative impact on the normal course of pregnancy. In addition, Pearson's correlation coefficient significance tests revealed a potentially statistically significant relationship between anemia, animal protein consumption, and kaolin consumption.
