The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2012, increased sig- nificantly to 359 per 100,000 births hidup.1 Obtained in Household Health Survey (Survey) 2001 mater- nal mortality rate can be lowered only by basic health services such as antenatal. Based on a UNICEF report, only about 45% were informed about the signs of pregnancy complications. This research was conducted to determine the cross sectional differences in the level of knowledge of pregnant women who had antenatal care at obstetricians and midwives in the city of Padang. Primigravida pregnant women who visit antenatal care at obstetricians and midwives in Padang City, amounting to 73.8% have a high level of knowledge. There were no differences in the level of knowledge of pregnant women who had antenatal care at obstetrician (p> 0.05)Keywords: Antenatal, Midwives, Obstetrician, knowledge

Background Antenatal care is important to ensure that natural processes continue to run normally during pregnancy. The fetus in the womb develops along with the gestational age, so if it is not properly monitored it can cause problems, both in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, it can also result in the death of the mother and baby. Based on data from the Kenten Laut Banyuasin Health Center in 2020, the number of pregnant women who made ANC visits was 87 people. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women and antenatal care examination visits. Methods This research method used a quantitative descriptive surver with a cross sectional approach and univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi square test. The population of this study were some pregnant women who visited were taken randomly at the Kenten Laut Banyuasin Health Center in 2020, with a total population of 32 people. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about ANC with ANC visits at the Kenten Laut Banyuasin Health Center in 2020 with a value of 0.008 <0.005. Therefore it is important for pregnant women to carry out prenatal examinations from the beginning so that it will be easier to know the baby's development and can detect signs of danger early to prevent complications early.                    Conclusion There is a relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about ANC with ANC visits at the Kenten Laut Banyuasin Health Center in 2020 with a value of 0.008 < 0.005.                    Suggestions are expected for future researchers to conduct research on antenatal care with more interesting variables so that they can be studied more about antenatal care examinations and can be reviewed about the problems that exist in pregnant women so that pregnant women are healthier and of higher quality.  Keywords : antenatal care visits,knowledge of pregnant women, maternal mortality ABSTRAK Latar Belakang Asuhan antenatal care penting untuk menjamin agar proses alamiah tetap berjalan normal selama kehamilan. Janin dalam kandungan berkembang seiring dengan besar usia kehamilan, maka apabila tidak dilakukan pengawasan yang tepat bisa menyebabkan masalah, baik dalam kehamilan, persalinan dan nifasnya, bisa juga mengakibatkan kematian ibu dan bayi. Berdasarkan data Puskesmas Kenten Laut Banyuasin Tahun 2020 jumlah ibu hamil yang melakukan Kunjungan ANC sebanyak 87 orang.Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu hamil terhadap kunjungan pemeriksaan antenatal care.Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan Surver Deskriptif Kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional dan analisa univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji chi square, Populasi penelitian ini adalah sebagian ibu hamil yang melakukan kunjungan diambil secara random sampling di Puskesmas Kenten Laut Banyuasin Tahun 2020, jumlah total populasi 32 orang.Hasil penelitian ini menjunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang ANC dengan kunjungan  ANC di Puskesmas Kenten Laut Banyuasin Tahun 2020 dengan ƿ value 0,008 < 0,005.  Maka dari itu penting bagi ibu hamil untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan dari awal sehingga akan lebih mudah mengetahui perkembangan bayi dan dapat mendeteksi secara dini tanda-tanda bahaya untuk mencegah komplikasi secara dini.Kesimpulan Ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang ANC dengan kunjungan  ANC di Puskesmas Kenten Laut Banyuasin Tahun 2020 dengan ƿ value 0,008 < 0,005.Saran diharapkan untuk peneliti selanjutnya untuk melakukan penelitian tentang antenatal care dengan variabel yang lebih menarik sehingga bisa dikaji lebih banyak lagi tentang pemeriksaan antenatal care dan bisa dikaji ulang tentang permasalahan yang ada pada ibu hamil supaya ibu hamil lebih sehat dan berkualitas Kata Kunci            : Kunjungan Antenatal care, Pengetahuan ibu hamil, AKI

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains the global unfinished agenda in most countries of the world especially in low- and middle-income countries. LBW subsequently has harmful effects on the lifestyle, psychosocial and physiological development of the child. Although it is known that antenatal care (ANC) visits are important interventions contributing to prediction of newborn birth weight, little has been conducted on effect of ANC visits on birth weight in Rwanda. This study aimed at determining the association between regular ANC visits and risk of LBW among newborns in Rwanda. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted to analyse the effects of ANC on LBW using the 2014/2015 Rwanda Demographic Health Survey. Associations of socio-demographic, socio-economic, and individual factors of the mother with LBW newborns were performed using bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: Prevalences of LBW and macrosomia were 5.8% and 17.6%, respectively. Newborns delivered from mothers attending fewer than four ANC visits were at almost three-times greater risk of having LBW [aOR=2.8; 95%CI (1.5–5.4), p=0.002] compared to those whose mothers attending four or more ANC visits. Residing in a rural area for pregnant women was significantly associated with LBW [aOR=1.1; 95%CI (0.7–1.6), p=0.008]. Maternal characteristics, such as anemia, predicted an increase in LBW [aOR=3.5; 95%CI (1.5–5.4), p<0.001]. Those who received no nutritional counseling [aOR=2.5; 95%CI (2–8.5), p<0.001] and who were not told about maternal complications [aOR=3.3; 95%CI (1.5–6.6), p=0.003] were more prone to deliver newborns with LBW than those who received them. Pregnant women who received iron and folic acid were less likely to have LBW newborns [aOR=0.5; 95%CI (0.3–0.9), p=0.015]. Conclusion: ANC visits significantly contributed to reducing the incidence of LBW. This study underscores the need for early, comprehensive, and high-quality ANC services to prevent LBW in Rwanda.

The aim of this literature review was to find out any topics which had discussed and researched scientifically according to behavior, perception, maternal, pregnancy, and labor, especially in 2015 - 2021. The method of literature review was descriptive quantitative. Literatures were tracked by using Mendeley, then selected and processed by using VOS Viewer. They were also manually processed according to completeness of each literature. Of the 4 main discussion clusters had been found, i.e.  target clusters, mothers, risk groups, and health services, there were determined several main topics and keywords i.e: examination (care), mothers, factors, experiences, childbirth, and antenatal care. Meanwhile, topics those rarely discussed or researched were perceptions and adolescents. The most collected literatures were published in 2019 (29%), followed by 2020 (22%), and 2015 (15%). Most of the research or studies of the collected literatures were conducted descriptively and took research locations in Indonesia and African countries. Of the selected literatures rose basic assumption that the high maternal mortality rate, especially in Indonesia, is closely related to the lack of utilization of health facilitaties, as a result of the improper behavior of pregnant women in maintaining pregnancy and labor. This behavior is based on mindsets and perceptions related to pregnancy and labor, which have been formed since the pregnant women were teenagers. (9 pt).

Good oral health during pregnancy can possibly reduce complications and this will improve the quality of life of the pregnant woman. In addition, this will prevent the risk of the child to develop early childhood dental caries in the future. The main objective of this study was to determine if there is an association existingbetween the level of knowledge on oral health and utilization of dental services among pregnant women. Furthermore, the study determined the (a) proportion among pregnant women who had high level of knowledge regarding dental careduring pregnancy, (b) proportion of pregnant women who ever visited the dentist during pregnancy, (c) proportions of expecting women who are regularly brushing her teeth and whouses dental floss during pregnancy, and (d) factors that hinders the expecting women from visiting the dentist during pregnancy. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at El Minia University Maternal and Child Health Hospital, El Minia, Egypt. A cross-sectional self-administered questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 200 expectant mothers, approached 156 out of them returned completed questionnaires, representing a response rate of 78%. Results revealed that: (a) nearly 65% of pregnant mothers had a high level of poor knowledge regarding dental care during pregnancy, (b) roughly 24% of pregnant women ever visited the dentist during pregnancy, (c) about 80% and 43% of expecting women regularly brush their teeth at least twice per day and use dental floss during pregnancy, respectively, and (d) among the factors that hinder the expecting women from visiting the dentist during pregnancy include having no time to visit, the consultation cost, fear and anxiety about the procedure, long waiting time, transportation problem and the idea of not needing the dental care. Moreover, the results showed that there was no sufficient evidence to say that the level of knowledge regarding dental service during pregnancy is associated with the utilization of dental service during pregnancy (Pearson Chi-square p-value = .160). The study concludes that health promotion on oral care during prenatal visits should address the mythologies and misconceptions among pregnant women. Therefore, healthcare providers should raise awareness among expectant mothers about giving special attention to oral health needs due to the higher risk of oral diseases that may affect pregnancy and the child inside the womb.

The high maternal mortality rate or MMR in Indonesia is an important issue that needs to be handled seriously. AKI is a measure of maternal health success and is a barometer of health services in a country, if the rate is still high, it means that health services in the country are categorized not good (Adriansz, 2007). So one of the efforts that need to get attention in reducing AKI is through improvement of health service quality of pregnant and maternity mother especially through antenatal care. The purpose of this study to determine the perception of pregnant women on antenatal care (ANC) in the Bolorejo village, Kauman District, Tulungagung Regency. This research is a qualitative research with cross sectional research design. Variable in this research is pregnant woman's perception on antenatal care service with population counted 11 responden, using technique of non probability sampling saturated (census), where research tool used is structured interview guidance, research location in Bolorejo village, Kauman district, Tulungagung regency. Time of study in July 2017. Presentation of data in the form of pie chart. From the results of the study obtained the results of pregnant women's perception on antenatal care service in the village of Bolorejo District Kauman Tulungagung district based on the care of ANC 10T that has been given to pregnant women has not been fully achieved. This is indicated from the data of the majority of pregnant women have received antenatal care 8T (80%) While a small proportion of pregnant women have not received antenatal care 2T (20%) which includes TT immunization and laboratory examination related to pregnancy (PP test, Hb, Protein urine, Urine reduction). Pregnant women who do not get TT immunization that there is 1 pregnant women due to pregnant women check into the village midwife in late third trimester of pregnancy and approaching delivery. As for pregnant women who do not get laboratory tests related to pregnancy (PP test, Hb, urine protein, urine reduction) that is as many as 3 pregnant women because the pregnant women did not want to be examined for fear of injections and no signs of danger pregnancy accompanying pregnant women during pregnancy (seen from the characteristics of respondents based on maternal reproductive age in low risk categories, based on parity also low risk). For pregnant women who are afraid of injections have actually been motivated by health cadres and village midwives but pregnant women are still not pleased to do laboratory examination (Based on the perception of pregnant women to public services and services ANC indicates that the services provided by health personnel are in conformity with standards) So that an unacceptable ANC examination of the standard (10T) was caused by a low awareness of pregnant women themselves. Keywords: Perception, Pregnant Women, Antenatal Care

Antenatal care (ANC) literacy is particularly important for pregnant women who need to make appropriate decisions for care during their pregnancy and childbirth. The link between inadequate health literacy on the educational components of ANC and maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is undisputable. Yet, little is known about the ANC literacy of pregnant women in SSA, with most studies inadequately assessing the four critical components of ANC literacy recommended by the World Health Organization, namely danger signs in pregnancy; true signs of labour; nutrition; and preparedness for childbirth. Lesotho, a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in SSA, is also underexplored in this research area. This cross-sectional study explored the levels of ANC literacy and the associated factors in 451 purposively sampled women in two districts in Lesotho using a structured questionnaire, making recourse to statistical principles. Overall, 16.4 per cent of the participants had grossly inadequate ANC literacy, while 79.8 per cent had marginal levels of such knowledge. The geographic location and level of education were the most significant predictors of ANC literacy, with the latter variable further subjected to post hoc margins test with the Bonferroni correction. The participants had the lowest scores on knowledge of danger signs in pregnancy and true signs of labour. Adequate ANC literacy is critical to reducing maternal mortality in Lesotho. Improving access to ANC education, particularly in rural areas, is recommended. This study also provides important recommendations critical to informing the national midwifery curriculum.

Antenatal care is a service provided to pregnant women to monitor, support maternal health and detect mothers whether normal or problematic pregnant women. According to the WHO, globally more than 70% of maternal deaths are caused by complications of pregnancy and childbirth such as hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, and abortion. Based on data obtained from the profile of the North Sumatra provincial health office in 2017, in the city of Padangsidimpuan in 2017 the coverage of ANC visits reached (76.58%) and had not reached the target in accordance with the 2017 Provincial Health Office strategy plan (95%). This type of research was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The population in this study were independent practice midwives who were in the Padangsidimpuan, the sample in this study amounted to 102 respondents. The technique of collecting data used questionnaires and data analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression analysis. Based on bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between facilities, knowledge and attitudes of independent midwives with compliance with the standards of antenatal care services with a value of p <0.05. The results of the study with multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors associated with the compliance of independent midwives in carrying out antenatal care service standards were attitudes with values (p = 0.026).

Abstract Background The third Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 development agenda aims to reduce maternal and newborn deaths. Pregnant women’s understanding of danger signs is an important factor in seeking timely care during emergencies. We assessed knowledge of obstetric danger signs using both recall and understanding of appropriate action required during obstetric emergencies. Methods This was a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Bhutan’s largest hospital in Thimphu. Recall was assessed against seven obstetric danger signs outlined in the Mother and Child Health Handbook (7 points). Understanding of danger signs was tested using 13 multiple choice questions (13 points). Knowledge was scored out of 20 points and reported as ‘good’ (≥80%), ‘satisfactory’ (60–79%) and ‘poor’ (< 60%). Correlation between participant characteristics and knowledge score as well as number of danger signs recalled was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Association between knowledge score and participant characteristics was tested using t-tests (and Kruskal-Wallis test) for numeric variables. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the level of knowledge ('good’ versus ‘satisfactory’ and ‘poor’ combined) were assessed with odds ratios using a log-binomial regression model. All results with p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results Four hundred and twenty-two women responded to the survey (response rate = 96.0%). Mean (±SD) knowledge score was 12 (±2.5). Twenty women (4.7%) had ‘good’ knowledge, 245 (58.1%) had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge and 157 (37.2%) had ‘poor’ knowledge. The median number of danger signs recalled was 2 (IQR 1, 3) while 68 women (20.3%) could not recall any danger signs. Most women were knowledgeable about pre-labour rupture of membranes (96.0%) while very few women were knowledgeable about spotting during pregnancy (19.9%). Both knowledge score and number of danger signs recalled had significant correlation with the period of gestation. Women with previous surgery on the reproductive tract had higher odds of having ‘good’ level of knowledge. Conclusions Most pregnant women had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge score with poor explicit recall of danger signs. However, women recognized obstetric emergencies and identified the appropriate action warranted.
