This study uses a quantitative research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design model, namely observations are made on samples before being given warm water therapy and observations are made again after being given warm water therapy. Samples were taken by purposive sampling. Based on the probability of the test results listed in the table, it can be known that the resulting probability is 0.01. This means that the probability < level of significance (? = 0.05), so that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. This means that there is a significant difference between lower limb oedema in pregnant women in the third trimester before giving warm water soaking (Pretest) and oedema of the lower limbs in pregnant women in the third trimester after giving warm water soaking (Postest). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an Effect of Warm Water Soaking on the Increase of Leg Oedema in Pregnant Women in the Third Trimester at the Pratama Cahaya Lubuk Pakam Clinic in 2024.]]>
