Pregnancy involves complex physical, psychological, and social adjustments that influence maternal well-being throughout the prenatal period. This study aimed to explore the physical and psychological changes experienced by pregnant women in Sukasari Village and to examine the role of family and community support in facilitating maternal adaptation. A qualitative descriptive design was employed using in-depth interviews and observations involving pregnant women representing different stages of pregnancy. The findings revealed trimester-specific experiences, including nausea, fatigue, and emotional uncertainty in early pregnancy; increased physical comfort and emotional stability during mid-pregnancy; and sleep disturbances, physical discomfort, and childbirth-related anxiety in late pregnancy. Family and community support emerged as important factors that enhanced coping capacity and emotional resilience. These findings highlight the importance of holistic maternal health interventions that address both physiological and psychosocial needs, contributing to improved maternal well-being and pregnancy outcomes.
