This study aims to find out and analyze the legal basis for considering the regulation of fine sanctions of Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the health of mothers, infants and children under five and to find out and assess the effectiveness of the enforcement of Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mother, Infants and Children under five through the regulation of fine sanctions. This type of research is empirical normative research using interviews and data analysis methods that are carried out qualitatively. In this study, the author uses a type of empirical normative research or legal research that examines written law from the aspects of theory, history, philosophy, comparison, structure and composition, scope and material, general explanation of article by article, formality and binding force of a law but not binding aspects of its application or implementation. The results of the study show the legal basis for considering the regulation of fine sanctions in Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the health of mothers, infants and children under five, because there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center which can be at risk of maternal and infant mortality rates. This happens because there are still pregnant women who give birth at home because of impromptu childbirth so that childbirth does not occur in health facilities but outside health facilities or at home and childbirth is still helped by birth attendants. The risk of maternal and infant mortality can still occur. The effectiveness of the enforcement of Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Infants and Children Under Five through the regulation of fine sanctions in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center has been effective for health workers. For the public, there are still many who do not know about the Regulation of the Mayor of Kupang Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Babies and Children under five so that there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities and childbirth assisted by shamans. Knowledge about childbirth, attitudes and family support in this study also has an important role in determining mothers to have a safe delivery. It is suggested that new regional regulations need to be socialized to the community so that existing regulations can run effectively. An obedient society is also a basic thing so that regulations can run effectively.

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women can cause children born with cognitive decline, risk of stunting, and risk of chronic diseases in adults. The problem of pregnant women in CED is caused by low nutritional intake. Pregnant women with anemia are at 4.13 times greater risk of giving birth to children with short birth length compared to mothers who are not anemic. CED in pregnant women can cause risks and complications including anemia, bleeding, maternal weight does not increase normally and contracting infectious diseases. CED in pregnant women can affect the growth process of the fetus and can cause miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death, congenital defects, anemia in infants, intrapartum asphyxia, and low birth weight (LBW). Based on a survey conducted at the Cendana Putih Health Center, 45 pregnant women experienced CED (12.4%) in 2023. The problems that occur can be overcome by holding a collaborative program that can improve the health of pregnant women. This program can be used to address problems appropriately, namely by empowering pregnant women and cadres through GerCep CED. The design used in this program is community service activities carried out in the form of education in the form of providing pocket books and conducting direct counseling during the schedule of pregnant women's classes and assistance in making PMT from local food ingredients. The conclusion of this activity is that participants who initially had a low level of knowledge of KEK in pregnant women became more knowledgeable about KEK in pregnant women.

Deviations from normal that directly cause pain and death for the mother and baby. The high maternal mortality rate is caused by high risk, namely women with 4T conditions (pregnancies that occur at too young an age, too old an age, too close a pregnancy distance, too many children). This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about the 4T factors with pregnancy complications in the Tanjung Unggat Community Health Center working area. The research design used in this research is cross sectional analysis. The sampling technique in this research was accidental sampling of 38 people. The results of research conducted on 38 respondents conducted in August 2024 showed that 22 respondents had sufficient knowledge with a p value of 0.002, where there was a relationship between knowledge and high risk pregnancy (4T) at the Tanjung Unggat Health Center. Meanwhile, there were 25 respondents who had a positive attitude and the risk of pregnancy complications with a p value of 0.000, where there was a relationship between attitude and high risk pregnancy (4T) at the Tanjung Unggat Community Health Center. It is hoped that respondents will better understand the concept of high risk of 4T during pregnancy and be more concerned about the mother's health when planning the next pregnancy.

This systematic review examines the effectiveness of antenatal classes in improving pregnant women's attitudes towards stunting prevention. The review analyzed 28 studies published between 2018 and 2023, focusing on developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia. The methodology followed PRISMA guidelines, utilizing multiple academic databases. The analysis revealed that structured antenatal classes significantly improved maternal knowledge about stunting (68% increase in knowledge scores) and led to positive behavioral changes in nutritional practices. Regular attendance at comprehensive antenatal classes was associated with better pregnancy outcomes, with participants showing 75% higher rates of implementing recommended nutritional guidelines. Key success factors included regular class frequency, interactive teaching methods, cultural sensitivity, and strong community support. However, significant challenges were identified, including resource limitations, access barriers, and cultural resistance. The review highlighted successful adaptations such as hybrid learning models and community-based approaches. Recommendations include strengthening program design through evidence-based approaches, enhancing community engagement, developing sustainable funding mechanisms, and implementing robust monitoring systems. This review underscores the vital role of antenatal classes in stunting prevention while emphasizing the need for continued research to address existing challenges and enhance program effectiveness across diverse settings.
