Abstract

Background: Lower back pain is common in pregnant women, especially in the third trimester, due to physiological changes such as weight gain, shifts in the body’s center of gravity, and ligament relaxation. Prenatal exercise is a non-pharmacological method that improves flexibility, strengthens muscles, and enhances posture, reducing lower back pain. However, its implementation remains limited due to a lack of education and supporting facilities. Objective: This study evaluates the effect of prenatal exercise on lower back pain reduction in third-trimester pregnant women at the Independent Practice of Midwife Novia Br Karo, Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency. Method: A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was used. The study included 32 third-trimester pregnant women experiencing lower back pain. Prenatal exercise was provided, and pain levels were measured before and after using an observation sheet. Results: Before the intervention, most respondents (53.1%) reported moderate pain. After prenatal exercise, the majority (59.4%) experienced reduced pain in the mild category. The Wilcoxon test yielded a Z value of -3.122 with p = 0.002 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of prenatal exercise in reducing lower back pain. Conclusion: Prenatal exercise effectively reduces lower back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. It should be promoted as a non-pharmacological intervention for pregnancy-related back pain and incorporated into maternal health programs.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a health problem that can affect the mother and fetus. Age and number of pregnancies (gravida) are thought to be related to the incidence of CED. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age and number of pregnancies with the incidence of CED in pregnant women at the Lau Baleng Health Center, Lau Baleng District, in 2023.Methods: This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 56 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and measurements of the Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), then analyzed using the chi-square test.Results: The results showed that 23.2% of respondents experienced CED. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age and the incidence of CED (p = 0.004), where mothers aged <20 years or >35 years had a higher risk of experiencing CED than mothers aged 20-35 years. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the number of pregnancies (gravida) and the incidence of CED (p = 0.004), where mothers with a history of more than five pregnancies (grandemultigravida) have the highest prevalence of CED (62.5%). Conclusion: The age of pregnant women and the number of pregnancies have a significant relationship with the incidence of CED. Therefore, prevention efforts are needed through nutritional education for pregnant women, especially in the at-risk age group and mothers with high parity, to reduce the incidence of CED.
