Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is a randomized experimental study with two arms, comparing the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose and oral ferrous ascorbate in increasing hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels in pregnant women between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation with hemoglobin between 6 and 10gm/dl.Iron sucrose dose required is calculated as 2.4xweight of the patient x hemoglobin deficit+500.Target hemoglobin set at 12gm/dl.One arm(100 patients) are given iron sucrose intravenously. Other arm(100 patients )are given oral ferrous ascorbate 200mg till 6 weeks. The primary outcome will be increase in hemoglobin from baseline at 2weeks,4 weeks an 6 weeks in both groups. The secondary outcome will be rise in serum ferritin levels at 2 weeks,4weeks and 6weeks in both groups.
