Aim of the Study:
 This study aimed to find the incidence of low birth weight and the association of anemia in different trimesters of Pregnancy with the Mean birth weight of newborn
Methods:
In a prospective cohort study, a total of 224 Pregnant women followed from three primary health care centers in Sulaimani city Kurdistan Region, Iraq till the birth of full term. Data were analyzed using the statistical package for the Social Sciences version 26.0. A P-value ≤ 0.05 is considered a significant value.

But for the mode of delivery, there is no association.
