The objective of this study was to examine the possible correlation between maternal hematologic parameters and neonatal birth weight. For this purpose 305 pregnant women were studied during labour. Hemoglobin, Ht, MCV, MCH, MCHC, serum Fe and reticulocytes were measured in maternal blood sample and umbilical cord blood sample. Fetal MCH and MCHC had no statistical significance compared to maternal, while maternal MCH and MCHC were statistically significant (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively) compared to neonatal weight.
