Abstract

The postpartum period is frequently associated with pain caused by uterine contractions, perineal trauma, or cesarean wounds, which may limit mobilization and negatively affect physical and psychological recovery. Non-pharmacological approaches such as Lavandula angustifolia aromatherapy are increasingly explored because they are simple, safe, and have minimal side effects. This narrative literature review analyzed studies published between 2020 and 2025 retrieved from Google Scholar focusing on lavender aromatherapy interventions for postpartum mothers. Evidence indicates that active compounds including linalool and linalyl acetate provide sedative and analgesic effects by stimulating the limbic system and enhancing endorphin release. Inhaled lavender aroma was consistently associated with reduced pain intensity in mothers experiencing perineal pain and post-cesarean discomfort. Overall, lavender aromatherapy appears to be an effective complementary therapy that promotes relaxation, improves comfort, supports emotional well-being, and facilitates a smoother postpartum recovery process for mothers.

Abstract

Introduction: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. This study analyzed the relationship between maternal reproductive health indicators and LBW incidence at the Pasean Health Center, Pamekasan.Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 72 third-trimester pregnant women followed until delivery. Data on maternal age, interpregnancy interval, nutritional status, and antenatal care (ANC) visits were obtained through interviews and anthropometric measurements. Infant birth weight was measured within 24 hours postpartum. Logistic regression analysis was used with a 5% significance level.Results: The prevalence of LBW was 15.3%. Maternal age 20 years significantly increased the risk of LBW (AOR=2.45; 95% CI: 1.18–5.07; P=0.016), while short interpregnancy interval (24 months) also showed a significant effect (AOR=1.87; 95% CI: 1.02–3.45; P=0.042). Poor maternal nutritional status emerged as the strongest predictor (AOR=3.12; 95% CI: 1.58–6.15; P=0.001).Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of improving maternal nutrition, ensuring adequate birth spacing, and delaying early pregnancies. Strengthening primary health care interventions focusing on preconception and antenatal nutrition is essential to reduce LBW and improve neonatal health outcomes. Keywords: Antenatal care, low birth weight, maternal nutrition, pregnancy interval, reproductive health
