<![CDATA[Third-trimester primigravida women often experience anxiety due to physical and psychological changes before childbirth. A preliminary survey at Afiyah Clinic, Gedangan, Sidoarjo, found that 30 out of 37 third-trimester primigravida women (81.08 per cent) experienced anxiety. One non-pharmacological intervention that may reduce anxiety is the combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga. To determine the anxiety levels of third-trimester primigravida women before and after the administration of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge combined with prenatal yoga at Afiyah Clinic, Gedangan, Sidoarjo. This study employed a quasi-experimental Two-Group Pretest–Posttest Control Design. The sample consisted of 30 respondents, divided into intervention and control groups of 15 each, selected through purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the PRAQ-R2 questionnaire. Data were analysed using the Paired Sample T-Test and Independent Sample T-Test. The Paired Sample T-Test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating that the combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga significantly reduced anxiety levels among third-trimester primigravida women. The Independent Sample T-Test yielded a p-value of 0.457, indicating no significant difference between the intervention and control groups. The combination of a Maternity Pillow Dual Wedge and prenatal yoga was effective in reducing anxiety among third-trimester primigravida women and has the potential to be applied as a non-pharmacological intervention in midwifery care.]]>
