Every pregnant woman is strongly recommended to undergo comprehensive and quality antenatal care (ANC) at least four times, consisting of at least once in the first trimester (before 14 weeks of gestation), at least once in the second trimester (14–28 weeks of gestation), and at least twice in the third trimester (between 28–36 weeks and after 36 weeks of gestation), including at least one visit accompanied by the husband or a family member. The first ANC visit is highly recommended to be conducted between 8 and 12 weeks of gestation. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that influence the K4 coverage of antenatal visits among pregnant women at Bontomarannu Public Health Center, Galesong Selatan Subdistrict, Takalar Regency. This research uses a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 60 pregnant women who underwent K4 antenatal examinations at Bontomarannu Public Health Center, selected through random sampling. The results showed that knowledge significantly affected the K4 coverage of antenatal visits (p = 0.000), occupation also had a significant influence (p = 0.004), and distance was another significant factor (p = 0.005). It can be concluded that knowledge, occupation, and distance all influence the K4 coverage of antenatal visits at Bontomarannu Public Health Center, Galesong Selatan Subdistrict, Takalar Regency.
 

The marmet technique is a technique used to express breastmilk. This technique provides a relaxing effect and also reactivates the milk ejection reflex (MER) so that milk begins to drip. With the MER activated, breast milk will often spray out by itself. The marmet technique is a massage using two fingers. This method is often referred to as back to nature because it is simple and does not require cost. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the marmet technique on the smoothness of breast milk in postpartum mothers in the working area of the Mowewe health center in 2021. This type of pseudo-experimental research uses a nonequivalent control group design model. The research sample was the experimental group who were given treatment with marmet massage techniques on postpartum mothers as many as 10 people and the control group was those who were not given marmet massage treatment on postpartum mothers as many as 10 people. The results showed that there was no effect of marmet technique on the smoothness of breast milk in postpartum mothers in the working area of Mowewe health center. The difference between the average pretest and posttest in the control group using the paired sample t-test test obtained a t value = 3.240 and a p value = 0.010 (p < 0.05). It is hoped that the results of the study will serve as a source of information and add insight into the marmet method for smooth breastfeeding for postpartum mothers.
