It is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Antepartum stillbirth is a major contributor to perinatal mortality. The objective of the study was to evaluate maternal anaemia as a risk factor for antepartum stillbirth Women admitted in labour room of a tertiary care centre with singleton viable pregnancy were selected. Forty antepartum stillbirths and eighty live births were included. Pregnancies with any medical disease or intrapartum stillbirths were excluded. Data was collected and analysed to evaluate anaemia as a risk factor for stillbirth. 53.3% women were anaemic. Among women with antepartum stillbirth, 62.5% had anaemia. The difference in haemoglobin status of women with still birth and those with live birth was statistically significant (P = 0.039 S). To conclude, anaemic women are at high risk for stillbirth. Hence, women should be screened and prevention and correction of anaemia should be done as early as possible.
