Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is a global and national problem that can increase the risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Anemia in pregnancy is a decrease in the capacity of blood to carry oxygen caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a reduced hemoglobin concentration in the blood circulation. This study aims to analyze midwifery care in pregnant women with mild anemia. This study used a case study design with a comprehensive midwifery care approach in one patient. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation studies. Data were analyzed using the stages of the midwifery process, which include assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The case study was conducted on Mrs. FF, who had a hemoglobin level of 10.2 gr/dL. The diagnosis was made G1P0000, gestational age 29-30 weeks, with mild anemia of an intrauterine live fetus. The intervention was carried out by educating about the importance of iron-rich nutrition, giving oral supplementation according to the recommended dose, and monitoring hemoglobin levels. The evaluation showed an increase in hemoglobin level to 11.2 gl/Dl after 8 weeks of intervention, with clinical improvement. This case demonstrates the importance of early detection of anemia in pregnancy and appropriate management through education, supplementation, and regular monitoring. A collaborative approach between health workers and pregnant women is essential to prevent anemia-related maternal and fetal complications.

Abstract

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder experienced during pregnancy, with a prevalence ranging from 30% to 78% in regions such as the United States, Europe, and Africa. Approximately one-third of affected individuals experience low back pain that leads to decreased productivity and reduced quality of life. An increased body weight of 11–12 kg, along with hormonal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy, contributes to a higher risk of pain in the back, pelvis, and other musculoskeletal areas. Given the potential impact of such complications during pregnancy, health policymakers should place greater emphasis on addressing this issue. In addition, public education on the importance of maternal health, coupled with timely diagnosis and intervention efforts, plays a crucial role in reducing pregnancy complications. This study aims to provide midwifery care to a third-trimester pregnant woman with complaints of low back pain through a case study of Mrs. N.A. (G3P2002, 28 weeks gestation). Data were collected through interviews, observation, physical examination, and documentation review. Diagnoses were made based on subjective and objective findings, and interventions were implemented through health education and pregnancy gymnastics as a promotive and preventive approach to improving maternal well-being. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement in the client's lower back pain after the intervention. The client reported decreased pain intensity to the point where it no longer interfered with daily activities, indicating that the intervention was effective and aligned with the previously planned objectives and success indicators. It is essential to provide follow-up education and regular evaluations in midwifery practice to ensure that similar complaints do not recur or develop into more serious issues.
