During the journey of pregnancy, a mother’s health and nutritional status directly impact the baby’s development. Most expectant mothers focus on supplementing sufficient nutrients like folic acid, calcium, and protein during pregnancy, but iron—an often overlooked element—is actually crucial for the health of both mother and baby. A recent study published in the top international journal Nature showed that iron deficiency in pregnant mice leads to sex reversal of their fetal mice embryos from male to female, resulting in the feminization of male fetuses. No clinical cases regarding the impact of iron deficiency during pregnancy on fetal sex differentiation have been reported, but the effects of iron deficiency during pregnancy on pregnant women and fetuses are relatively clear. This article will reveal the hazards of iron deficiency during pregnancy, especially its long-term health impacts on mothers, babies, and offspring, combined with the latest research, while introducing treatment methods for iron deficiency during pregnancy.
