(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.

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.
