Introduction: Low birth weight babies are babies weighing <2500 grams. Babies with LBW tend to experience hypothermia and infection, so an effort needs to be made to prevent this, one of which is by using the KMC method. Kangaroo Mother Care is a treatment for low birth weight babies that involves making direct contact between the baby's skin and the mother's skin.Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of the kangaroo method on weight gain in LBW babies at Duren Sawit RSKD.Method: This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative study with a pretest- posttest one-group design. The sample in this study consisted of 20 babies with LBW who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments in this study were KMC management SOPs and observation sheets. Data collection was carried out 2 times, namely before being given the KMC method and after being given the KMC method. Data processing using the SPSS computer program using the Wilcoxon analysis test. Results: Most of the mothers were aged 20–35 years, namely 11 people (55.0%), and most of the babies were female, namely 12 people (60.0%). Before being given the kangaroo method, all babies experienced low birth weight, where the baby's weight was in the minimum BB category, namely <2500 grams for 20 people (100.0%). After being given the kangaroo method, most of the babies with LBW had a weight in the normal weight category, namely ≥2500 grams, as did as many as 12 people (60.0%). The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis show a p-value of 0.001, which means that there is an effect of the KMC method on increasing LBW weight at the Durem Sawit Hospital in 2023. Conclusion: There is an effect of the KMC method on increasing LBW weight at the Durem Sawit Hospital in 2023.

The discomfort most often complained of by pregnant women is nausea, vomiting and headaches. This will have an impact on the mother and fetus, namely premature birth and the fetus is threatened with low birth weight (LBW), fainting and also low blood pressure. Pregnant women will be better off if they are able to overcome the problem of nausea, vomiting and headaches by using non-pharmacological complementary therapies, one of which is acupressure. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acupressure points PC6, GV20, GB20, EX-HN1, EX-HN3, EX-HN5 to treat nausea, vomiting and headaches in first trimester pregnant women at the Murung Pudak Health Center.

Statistical tests using the T-test. The results of the study obtained an average decrease in the frequency of nausea and vomiting before and after treatment from 8.18 to 3.65 and a decrease in the headache scale before and after treatment from 3.94 to 0.59 so that a p-value = (0.000) was obtained < ? (0.05) Conclusion: This means that there is effectiveness of acupressure points PC6, GV20, GB20, EX- HN1, EX-HN3, EX-HN5 to treat nausea, vomiting and headaches in first trimester pregnant women at the Murung Pudak Health Center in 2023.

Babies with Low Birth Weight is a health problem that contributes to infant mortality. Low birth weight babies are not only at risk of death in the early months of life, but also at risk for other health problems. The purpose of the study was to determine the demographic survey of BBLR events. This research method was carried out with quantitative descriptiveness. The sample amounted to 28 BBLR events at Pangeran Jaya Sumitra Hospital from June to November 2022 analyzed univariately. The results of the univariate analysis are the highest maternal age in the range of 20-35 years (92.9%), the most maternal education at the secondary level (78.6%), the variable location of residence which almost entirely comes from Kotabaru Regency which is 96.4%, based on the area where the most lives are obtained from urban areas which is 57.1%, and the most parity variable at number 1 which is 39.3%. The implication of the study is that the results of demographic surveys about the incidence of low birth weight in hospitals can be used to screen the potential occurrence of low birth weight in mothers who are preparing for pregnancy or are pregnant.

High risk pregnancy is a pregnancy that causes greater harm and complications to the mother and fetus during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum when compared to normal pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. One of the reasons for the high MMR is because pregnant women who are at risk were not detected early. Complications that can occur from risky pregnancies are antepartum bleeding, prolonged labor, prematurity, low birth weight (LBW). A risk pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that can affect the health of the mother and fetus. Sustainable development Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of the targets that can be measured is a reduction in the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). This activity was carried out in Ampekale Village, Bontoa District, Maros Regency using the method of providing counseling to pregnant women in turn using brochures which were distributed to each pregnant mother, after which a question and answer session was held and screening was carried out to detect pregnant women who were in the high risk group. This activity was attended by 24 pregnant women. This community service provides good benefits, namely gaining knowledge about increasing pregnant women's knowledge about high-risk pregnancies in pregnant women as well as ways to prevent and anticipate danger signs of pregnancy in high-risk pregnancies.

Serotinus is one of the obstetric complications that needs to be watched out for and there is a high risk of caesarean section during delivery. These complication will be made worse if the mother experiences anemia which can cause uterine atony, post partum bleeding and even lead to maternal death. According to WHO (2021), the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is 329,000 per 100,000 live births, data from the Brebes Health Office in 2022 is 105 cases, and data from the Paguyangan Community Health Center (2021) is 4 cases. Researchers implemented comprehensive midwifery care using Varney and SOAP documentation. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data collection used interview methods, observation, physical examination, supporting examinations, medical records, KIA books and other literature. The main informant is Mrs. A, while additional informants were midwives, general practitioners, obstetricians, nutrition officers, laboratory officers, husbands and families. Based on the results of pregnancy, childbirth, newborn, postpartum and family planning care, there were only problems in pregnancy at the age of 29+1, namely breech and oblique presentation and mild anemia with HB 9.6 g/dL and at the gestational age of 31+3, namely underestimation of fetal weight.

Background: Changes due to pregnancy are experienced by all women, starting from the digestive system, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Gradual bodily changes from a pregnant woman's increased weight cause the woman's posture and gait to change. Increased abdominal distension which makes the pelvis tilt forward, decreased abdominal muscle tone and the center of gravity shifts forward so that there is a tendency for the waist muscles to shorten if the abdominal muscles are stretched, causing an imbalance in the pelvic muscles which can cause discomfort in the lower back and also have an impact on lowering the baby's head. Objective: This study was to determine the relationship between using a gymball and lowering the fetal head in third trimester pregnant women.Method: This research uses primary and secondary data with a case study approach, namely providing complementary care in the form of using a gym ball to help lower the fetal head.Results: Pregnant women in the third trimester experienced head loss when using a gym ball.Conclusion: Based on the results of data analysis, using a gymball can help the decline process.Suggestion: It is hoped that PMB in Pesanggrahan village will become a forum and facilitator for pregnant women and women giving birth whose first stage is abnormal by using a gym ball to help lower the head and speed up the labor process.

Pregnancy is a period when pregnant women experience physiological and psychological changes. Physical changes that occur during pregnancy can cause complaints or discomfort during pregnancy, which include physical discomfort during pregnancy including back pain, low back pain, difficulty sleeping at night/insomnia, and leg cramps. Meanwhile, psychological discomfort that can occur in pregnant women is anxiety and fear of facing the birth process. Anxiety is one of the psychological changes in the third trimester because it is getting closer to the birth process. Resulting in excessive anxiety during pregnancy can trigger abortion, premature birth, low birth weight, fetal defects, fetal growth retardation, and postpartum depression. Three out of five third trimester pregnant women who were encountered experienced anxiety approaching labor, namely sleep disturbances. Practicing yoga during pregnancy is a useful solution as a self-help medium that will reduce discomfort during pregnancy and help with the birthing process. When pregnancy enters the third trimester, the mother will experience increasingly serious and intense anxiety in dealing with the birth process.

Giving breast milk to babies is very important to support the baby's growth and development, and breast milk contains the best nutrition for newborn babies and is the only healthy food that babies need in the first month of life. However, not all mothers can provide exclusive breast milk for their babies, this is due to the mother's inability to overcome breastfeeding problems in the early period due to several factors that influence breast milk production including socio-cultural changes, psychological factors, physical factors of the mother, increasing promotion of formula milk, staff factors. health, mother's diet, baby's birth weight, use of contraception. One method of care that can be given to mothers to support smooth breastfeeding is an Oxytocin massage during home care services. The research aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers, Bulukumba Regency. The design used in this research was Case Control and the sample in this research was 10 respondents. And the measuring instrument in this research uses a measuring cup. The results showed that breast milk production before the oxytocin massage treatment was 0% smooth and after the oxytocin massage treatment the average increase in breast milk production was 0.4 with the amount of smooth breast milk being 100%. Meanwhile, in the control group there was no increase in breast milk production. The results of the statistical test using the dependent t-test showed that the value was p=0.003, meaning there was a significant difference before the oxytocin massage and after the oxytocin massage. Conclusion There is an effect of Oxytocin Massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in Bulukumba Regency.

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in infants that occurs during a critical period of the process of growth and development in the womb and during the initial period after the baby is born. It is not only affected the physical growth of the baby but also the brain. The purpose of this research was to determine the factors associated with the stunting prevalence among the children under five years old of age in Jetis 1 Primary Health Care Center, Bantul. The research method is quantitative, case control research design with retrospective approach. The data analysis methods were chi-square and logistic regression. The results of this research were some factors could be associated with stunting prevalence. The factors were the history of exclusive breastfeeding (p: 0.037 or: 0.253) and the nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy (p: 0.001 or: 5.634). Meanwhile, gender (p: 0.153), history of birth weight (p: 0.677) and mother's education (p: 0.127) were found to have no relationship with stunting prevalence. It is expected that the mothers of children under five years old can prepare for pregnancy in the future by calculating nutritional intake before and during pregnancy and provide exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months.

Measurement of haemoglobin (Hb) is a standard examination in pregnant women at the first prenatal visit that is used to evaluate physical status and anemia. One of the health conditions that often occurs and is important to note in reducing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality is anemia in pregnancy, which can increase the risk of infection, preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, low birth weight babies, preterm birth, to death for both mother and child. fetus. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the difference in mean haemoglobin levels with the incidence of mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and eclampsia which were selected according to the criteria by total sampling using medical record data in the period January 2020 - December 2020. The variables in this study consisted of the basic characteristics of the respondents (age mother and parity status), gestational age (weeks), and medical condition of the mother divided into three groups (mild, severe preeclampsia, and eclampsia). Statistical analysis using the Kruskall Wallis test. This study included 190 respondents with an average maternal age of 32 years and an average haemoglobin level of 10.86 with medical conditions dominated by severe preeclampsia (85.3%). The results of the study found that there was no significant difference in mean hemoglobin levels between the three groups of pregnant women (p-value: 0.235). To improve the quality of life of the mother and fetus, it is recommended that primary health services should be strengthened, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of anemia in pregnancy should be prioritized.    

A perineal tear is a tear that occurs at the time the baby is born either spontaneously or with a tool or action. The impact of perineal tears can result in continuous bleeding and infection of suture wounds in the birth canal, slow treatment can cause death in postpartum mothers to find out the relationship between the old partus and the baby's birth weight with perineal tears in pregnant women at the Wara Health Center, Palopo City in 2021. This study is a quantitative analytical research with a "cross sectional study" design. The population in this study is maternity mothers in the working area of the Wara Health Center, Palopo City.

There was a relationship between the old partus and the incidence of perineal tears (p=0.020) and there was a relationship between the baby's birth weight and the incidence of perineal tears (p=0.007). There is a relationship between the old partus and the baby's birth weight with perineal tears in pregnant women at the Wara Health Center, Palopo City in 2021. for midwives in observing childbirth using a partograph is expected to be carried out well and be able to identify quickly and accurately to further increase vigilance in carrying out childbirth help so that perineal tears do not occur.

Anemia is a health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries where an estimated 30% of the world's population suffers from anemia. In Indonesia, one of the problems faced by adolescents is the problem of micronutrient nutrition, namely around 12% of male adolescents and 23% of female adolescents experience anemia, which is mostly due to iron deficiency (iron deficiency anemia. Anemia in adolescents specifically experienced by female adolescents will have a more serious impact, considering they are prospective mothers who will become pregnant and give birth to a baby, thus increasing the risk of maternal death, premature birth and low birth weight babies (LBW).The government has a routine program related to the distribution of iron tablets for women of childbearing age (WUS ), including adolescents and pregnant women. To support this program requires a good understanding for young women regarding anemia and the importance of blood-supplementing tablets, one of which is providing counseling to students at MTs N 1 Sumbawa with the aim of increasing knowledge about the dangers of anemia and the importance of taking tablets added blood. This community service activity was carried out on May 26 with the result that the knowledge and understanding of students about anemia was getting better, students also knew that taking iron tablets was important. Students are also motivated to meet their nutritional needs and increase adherence in taking iron tablets regularly.

Indicators to measure the quality of health services in an area can be seen from the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). One of the ways that can be done to reduce maternal mortality (MMR) and infant mortality (IMR) is by implementing continuous care. The purpose of this continuous midwifery care is to be able to provide comprehensive midwifery care to Mrs. "S" from pregnancy to family planning in accordance with midwifery care standards. Case study research method. The results of the implementation of midwifery care on an ongoing basis (Continuity of Care) on Mrs. "S" G1P0A0 age 24 years starting from the gestational age of 30 weeks 3 days to the age of 38 weeks. At the first pregnancy visit there was a problem in the mother, namely pregnancy with breech location. At the second visit the baby's position was in a normal position. The delivery process ended by cesarean section because the baby had an Early Rupture of Membranes. The baby was born at Budi Kemuliaan Hospital with a weight of 3000 gr Body Length : 48 cm Head Circumference: 33 cm, Chest Circumference: 32 cm. In the postpartum period, physiological complaints were found such as pain in the suture wound but not accompanied by signs of suture wound infection. Mrs. "S" chose to use 3-month injectable birth control. The conclusion of this assessment is that midwives are expected to be able to provide comprehensive care from pregnancy to family planning services and apply care in accordance with midwifery service standards.

Physiological newborns are babies born with a gestational age of more than or equal to 37 weeks with a body weight of 2500 grams to 4000 grams. During the birth period, many physical and psychological changes begin to occur in the baby's body, therefore it requires careful supervision to determine how to adjust to life outside the womb. The purpose of this study was to apply midwifery physiology care to By "Z" at the Panincong Health Center. The care provided uses the Varney 7 Step Midwifery Care Management approach and forms of documentation through SOAP. The case study conducted on By “Z” revealed that there were no obstacles when implementing Varney's 7 Step Midwifery Care Management approach. Thus, it is easy for caregivers to solve problems related to this. The form of midwifery care provided to By "Z" includes taking anamnesis on the baby's parents, carrying out physical examinations, and providing counseling to the parents, in this case to By "Z"'s mother about how to carry out effective care when caring for babies. This case study uses a descriptive observational method with a Continuity of care approach. The subject is By “Z” newborn. How to collect data anamnesis, observation, examination and documentation. Next, compare the data obtained with the existing theory

Preeclampsia is one of the causes of AKI and IMR. The causes of maternal death in Batam City are preeclampsia/eclampsia 35.7%, bleeding 14.3% and other causes 50%. Mothers with preeclampsia have a greater risk of giving birth to babies with LBW when compared to mothers with pregnancies without complications. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between preeclampsia and the incidence of low birth weight babies (LBW). Quantitative research method with observational analytic design, cross-sectional research design. The sample in this study were 35 women giving birth with mild pre-eclampsia at the Embung Fatimah Hospital. Sampling technique with total samplingl. Data analysis using Chi Square. The results of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between preeclampsia and the incidence of low birth weight babies (LBW) at Embung Fatimah Hospital, Batam City (P value = 0.003 <0.05). the Oods Ratio value is 13,500 (2,256-80,792) which means that mothers with preeclampsia are 13 times more at risk of giving birth to babies with LBW babies than mothers who do not have preeclampsia. Pregnant women should carry out continuous antenatal visits from the beginning of pregnancy, so that risk factors can be detected early.    

Background: Pregnancy with less than 20 years of age is an important problem because it belongs to the high risk group. This is related to the increased risk of maternal complications during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as in the perinatal. From the preliminary study, the incidence of maternity mothers aged less than 20 years old at Buleleng Regency Hospital in 2021 was 7.3%. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to look at the picture of childbirth in mothers less than 20 years old. Method: This study used descriptive methods with a sample of all babies born to maternity mothers aged less than 20 years at Buleleng Regency Hospital for the period September - December 2021 as many as 236 study subjects. Results: The results of this study obtained an average maternal age of 17.2 years, an average gestational age of 36.9 weeks, an average birth weight of 2791.2 grams, a 1 minute 72% normal Apgar score, a 5-minute Apgar score of 76.7% normal, no incidence of congenital abnormalities, a stillbirth event of 4.2%, the distribution of events based on maternal age is more found in the mother's age is more found in the mother group aged 16-19 years. Conclusion: There are still many pregnancies in mothers less than 20 years old, there is no incidence of congenital abnormalities, still the incidence of stillbirth.

The mortality causes of babies in Demak regency, in 2020, were low weight birth (43.87%), Asphyxia (16.9%), Tetanus Neonatorum (1%), and Sepsis (5.3%), and inherited abnormality (30.6%). The umbilical cord is a unique tissue and could be the infection source for newly born babies. Umbilical care becomes a behavioral realization that must be improved with excellent knowledge of taking care of the cord. This excellent behavior to take care of the cord could improve the behavior of taking care of the umbilical cord. Thus, the cord will be easily detached. Lack of adequate knowledge about umbilical cord will lead to incorrect administration of using traditional medicine which highly leads to neonates infection. This research determined the correlation between the mother's knowledge about the opened umbilical cord care and the detachment period of the umbilical cord. This analytic correlation research used a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of all mothers, 64 mothers, with an estimated period of birth from June to July 2022 in the working area of Sayung 1 Health Care, Demak Regency.  The researchers analyzed the data with univariate and bivariate analyses. The results showed the correlation between the mother's knowledge and the opened umbilical cord during the detachment period. The obtained p-value was 0.000, lower than 0.05.   Keywords: Mother knowledge, Opened umbilical cord care, Umbilical cord detachment

Injectable contraception is a way to prevent pregnancy by means of hormonal injections. This type of hormonal contraceptive injection in Indonesia is being used more and more because it works effectively, is practical to use, is relatively cheap and safe. This study aims to determine the relationship between the use of 3-month injection birth control and weight gain in women of childbearing age at the Maga Health Center in Mandailing Natal Regency in 2022. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population is all pregnant women who are at the Maga Health Center, Mandailing Natal Regency in 2022, with a total of 36 pregnant women. The number of samples used was 52 people obtained by using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis technique using chi square. the results obtained in this study were from 52 respondents, there was a relationship between the knowledge variable and weight gain with a value of p = 0.001, there was a relationship between the variable length of use and weight gain with a value of p = 0.002, there was a relationship between the age variable and weight gain body with a value of p = 0.002, there is a relationship between the education variable and weight gain with a value of p = 0.003 and there is a relationship between the work variable and weight gain with a value of p = 0.001. there is a relationship between knowledge variables and weight gain, there is a relationship between variables of length of use and weight gain, there is a relationship between age variables and weight gain, there is a relationship between education variables and weight gain and there is a relationship between work variables and weight gain . It is suggested to the puskesmas to increase the mother's knowledge to increase counseling related to the use of injecting contraception.

One of the stunting locations in East Tanjung Jabung Regency is located in Geragai Sub-district, Pandan Lagan Village. According to data from the Puskesmas in 2019, the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village was 35 toddlers, in 2020 it was 17 stunting children out of a total of 70 children in Pandan Lagan Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status, history of maternal conditions, and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK with the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village. This type of research is quantitative research, using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples to be studied with the Lemeshow Formula is 45 respondents. The dependent variable is stunting and the independent variables are maternal nutritional status (pre-pregnant maternal BMI and weight gain during pregnancy), history of maternal conditions (maternal age during pregnancy, birth spacing), and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet, then the data was processed through data editing, data coding, data entry, data cleaning, and data processing, then analyzed univariate, bivariate with a chi-square test, and multivariate with multiple logistic regression test. Based on the results of the study, there is a relationship between pre-pregnancy maternal BMI with a risk of 4,464 times, weight gain with a risk of 3,75 times, maternal age during pregnancy with a risk of 3,0 times, and spacing of babies with a risk of 2,444 times with the incidence of stunting. There is no relationship between maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK and the incidence of stunting with a p-value = 0,114, and it is known that the pre-pregnancy mother's BMI variable is the variable that has the greatest influence on infants with stunting nutritional status (odds ratio = 15,943). For this reason, it is expected to be more intensive in educating couples of childbearing age, pre-pregnant mothers, or early on to adolescent girls to pay attention to factors that affect stunted children, especially to have an ideal BMI so that it will reduce the risk of having children with stunted nutritional status.
