Background: Gestational anemia should be considered alongside maternal and obstetric characteristics when describing antenatal populations. Objective: To describe gestational anemia and maternal and obstetric characteristics in a selected hospital sample from Trujillo, Peru, during 2021–2024. Methods: A retrospective descriptive analysis included 319 medical records originally selected according to prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) status: 156 women with PROM and 163 without PROM. Eligible women were aged 18–35 years and had third-trimester hemoglobin measurements and complete clinical information. Anemia severity, maternal age, body mass index, gestational age, gravidity, preeclampsia, and oligohydramnios were summarized using frequencies and percentages. Results: Anemia was documented in 160 women (50.2%): 116 (36.4% of the sample) had mild anemia, 43 (13.5%) moderate anemia, and one (0.3%) severe anemia. The largest maternal age group was 18–22 years (36.1%), and 78.7% were classified as overweight according to recorded measurements. Most women were at 38 weeks of gestation (66.8%); 60.5% were in their first pregnancy. Preeclampsia and oligohydramnios were recorded in 41.4% and 47.3%, respectively. Conclusions: Mild anemia predominated among anemia diagnoses in this selected sample. These findings characterize the hematological and obstetric profile of the selected hospital sample and support attention to anemia assessment within comprehensive antenatal care.
