This study analyzes the relationship between maternal age and various aspects of pregnancy, delivery, postpartum conditions, and neonatal outcomes in Indonesia. The research method used was an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between maternal age and pregnancy conditions (p<0.001) with young mothers (<20 years) showing higher levels of anemia (6.7% vs 3.5%) and KEK (8.8% vs 3.0%) compared to the 20-35 year age group. Postpartum infections were more common in young mothers (20.1% vs 15.2%) although this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.087). Low Birth Weight was higher in babies born to young mothers (4.1% vs 2.1%) but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.096). This study highlights the impact of maternal age on various aspects of maternal and neonatal health in Indonesia. Young mothers (<20 years) are at higher risk of complications during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. In conclusion, maternal age has a significant impact on various aspects of maternal and neonatal health in Indonesia. Young mothers (<20 years) are at higher risk for certain pregnancy complications and poor delivery outcomes. Keywords: Pregnancy, Neonatal Condition, Childbirth, Post Partum, Maternal Age
