The condition of pregnant women greatly affects the fetus. Maternal nutrition, especially during conception and early pregnancy is one of the substantial determinants of fetal growth and development and the cornerstone of child health in the future. Anemia has become one of the predictors presumed to influence birth weight. Infants with low birth weight tend to suffer from diseases whether short-term effects or long-term effects. This observational with cross-sectional design involved 192 pregnant women with anemia and non- anemia giving birth at Sundari Hospital Medan in 2019. Data of age, education level, anemia, and birth weight were obtained from medical records. There was no statistically significant difference in newborn birth weight between anemic and non-anemic mothers (p-value = 0.075). There was no statistical difference in newborn birth weight between anemic and non-anemic mothers.
