Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the rupture of the membranes before the time of delivery at aterm pregnancy. The research used a quantitative study and an analytical survey with a Cross Sectional approach. The independent variable was parity and maternal age, while the dependent variable was premature rupture of membranes. This study used secondary data from 2019 to 2020. The population of this study were all 379 mothers giving birth in the VK room at the Muna Barat Hospital, and the sample in this study was 36 respondents who experienced PROM. The sample collection technique used a simple random sampling technique. This analysis used a contingency coefficient with an error rate (α = 0.05). The results showed that at term pregnancy there were 66% of mothers who experienced PROM in the age group < 20 years and > 35 years and at term pregnancy there were 71% experiencing PROM in the primipara and grandemultipara groups. From the results of statistical analysis were using SPSS, it was found that the P value < 0.05 for the age and parity groups, where these results indicated there is a relationship between maternal age (< 20 and > 35 years) and maternal parity (primipara and grade multipara) with the incidence of PROM. It is hoped that midwives as health service providers for pregnant, maternity and postpartum women can further enhance their role in providing counseling to women, both adolescents and women of childbearing age, about a safe reproductive age for pregnancy and childbirth.  

Childbirth is a series of processes that end with the expulsion of the products of conception by the mother.

In Indonesia, out of a total of 1951 vaginal births, 1465 or 75% experienced perineal rupture, 158 or 8% received perineal sutures due to episiotomy and 566 or 29% experienced spontaneous tears.

Background: The low level of breastfeeding in the first hour after birth and exclusive breastfeeding resulted in stunted growth of the baby, especially the weight and length of the baby. The government's first step in an effort to improve the health status of infants is to implement early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD). The results of a preliminary study on 4 infants who experienced an increase in body weight of 150-250 grams were previously carried out by IMD. Objective: Knowing the effectiveness of the IMD implementation on infant weight gain at the Kolelet Health Center Lebak Banten in 2022. Methodology: This research is quasi-experimental research with one-group pretest-posttest design method. The sample in this study were babies born at the Kolelet Health Center Lebak Banten in June 2022 as many as 30 respondents with a total sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the Paired sample t-test before the normality test was carried out. Results: The results of the univariate analysis showed that the baby's weight before the IMD was done on average = 2,965.00 grams and after the IMD was done the average = 3,333.67 grams so that an average difference was found of 368.67 grams. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was an effectiveness of the IMD implementation on the baby's weight gain with p = 0.000. Conclusions and Suggestions: The implementation of IMD is effective in increasing the baby's weight. Maternity mothers and their families are expected to increase their knowledge about the importance of IMD in order to increase their awareness in carrying out IMD to their babies and make mothers motivated to continue giving their breast milk without additional food so that the growth and development of babies can grow optimally and mothers avoid postpartum hemorrhage.
