This study reviews the relationship between hematological parameters of the mother and the newborns status. Our material consisted of 180 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies who had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. A negative relationship was noted between the pH and the maternal hemoglobin values both in the umbilical artery and vein (r = -0.27, p < 0.001, for the umbilical vein and r = -0.32, p < 0.0001, for the umbilical artery). A negative relationship was also noted between the umbilical vein pH and the maternal hematocrit, which was statistically significant (r = -0.28, p = 0.001). A similar negative correlation was observed between the umbilical artery pH and the maternal hematocrit (r = -0.32, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, maternal hematological parameters (hemoglobin, hematocrit) can affect the fetal acid-base balance.
