Anemia is a prevalent condition during pregnancy, and in the rural population, no reference values for haematological markers during pregnancy have been documented. The goal of this study was to look at the haematological profile of healthy pregnant women in western India. The primary goals of this study were to assess the haematological parameters of rural pregnant women in all three trimesters and compare them to a matched nonpregnant control group. A cohort of 302 typical, seemingly healthy rural pregnant women who attended the Dhiraj General Hospital's antenatal clinic in Vadodara, Gujarat, India were studied over time. As a control group, 94 apparently healthy nonpregnant women were matched by age and socioeconomic background. Both groups had their blood sugar, haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), total and differential leucocyte concentration (TLC & DLC), red cell distribution width (RDW), red blood cell count (RBC), and platelet count measured. During the research, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's ethical norms were observed. The ANOVA test was used to compare pregnant and nonpregnant females, and the unpaired t-test was used to compare data from multiple trimesters (error was set at 5% level). In all trimesters of pregnancy, statistically significant alterations in platelet count, RDW, PCV, TLC, and DLC were seen, whereas other parameters such as RBC count, blood indices, and Hb concentration remained unchanged. There are significant differences between pregnant and nonpregnant women (p0.05). Our findings contain data from rural populations and provide a baseline for this ethnic group's reference value. Despite the fact that pregnancy alters haematological parameters, our findings show that pregnancy is a condition of adaptability.
