PHYSIOLOGICAL PREGNANCY CARE MENAGEMENT at THE SEHATI HUSADA CLINIC IN 2025

Abstract

Labor is a natural process that every pregnant mother goes through to deliver her baby. During this process, there is stretching and widening of the mouth of the uterus due to contractions of the uterine muscles that push the baby out. Most mothers who undergo labor will feel uncomfortable due to the pain that arises during the process. Excessive pain can affect the smoothness of labor. This pain is generally caused by uterine contractions, cervical dilation, and psychological factors such as anxiety and fear of facing labor. Deep breath relaxation technique is a method that involves regulating the breath by inhaling air slowly, holding it for a moment, then exhaling slowly. This technique aims to help the body and mind become more relaxed. Deep breathing exercises not only serve to clear the mother's lungs, but also support the return of venous blood to the heart, thereby improving circulation so that the pain felt becomes more reduced. Maternal mortality rate (MMR) is one of the main indicators in assessing the success of the health sector. Maternal deaths can be categorized by cause into direct and indirect deaths. Direct maternal deaths occur due to complications that arise during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period, as well as due to non-optimal handling of these complications. In an effort to improve the degree of public health, one of the targeted indicators is the reduction of maternal mortality, from 359 per 100,000 live births based on 2012 IDHS data, to 306 per 100,000 live births in 2019 (Ministry of Health, 2019). In accordance with the Permenkes RI in the SDGs program, the national health system targets 2030. The existence of a mother has an important role in creating a prosperous family, so the loss of a mother can be a heavy blow to the family. The impact of this event is not only felt emotionally, but also affects social and economic aspects, both for families, communities, and the world of work.
