The technique of collecting data using observation sheet. Results: The statistic test found that the proportion of age <20 years -> 35 years experienced hypertension that is 60.5% (72 pregnant women) and the proportion of primipara parity experienced hypertension that is 63.8% (90 pregnant women). The result of the statistical test of chi-square analysis relation between maternal age and hypertension with p-value = 0.001 and relationship between parity and hypertension with p-value = 0.000.
