Grand multigravidae (46.4%) was the highest frequent variable, followed by multigravidae (33%) and primgravidaewas lowest one (20%). Regard to trimesters third trimester represented most abundant (52%),compared with second trimester (27%)and first one (20%). One third of pregnant women had history of abortion and most of them received iron supplement (56%). The studied showed significantstatistical difference of WBCs, RBCs, Hb, HCT, Platelets, Granulocytes and Lymphocytes levels between study group (P=.000)for all exceptplatelets(p=.006). There was no significant statistical differencebetween age, abortion and gravidity and WBCs, RBCs, Hb, HCT and platelets.
