The nutritional status of pregnant women before and during pregnancy can affect the growth of the fetus in the womb. The purpose of this study was to look at the risk factors of  LBW events based on nutritional status based on the MUAC size of pregnant women. This research is analytical with cross sectional study design by sampling using the total sampling technique of 98 pregnant women in Kubang Village, Sukaresmi District, Cianjur Regency. Analyze data using Chi Square. Univariate analysis results from 98 respondents have good nutritional status (MUAC≥23.5 cm) which is as much as 78 (80%) and normal birth weight 64 (65.3%) pregnant women. The results of bivariate analysis there is a meaningful relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on LBW and the incidence of LBW value P value = 0.006 (P value<0.05). In conclusion there is a meaningful relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on MUAC and the incidence of LBW value P value = 0.006 (P value<0.05) value (OR=3.345, CI 2.234-8.562), respondents who have a history of malnutrition status while pregnant have a risk of 3,354 times giving birth to babies with LBW

The best primary nutrition for babies is breast milk. Exclusive Breastfeeding is given since the baby is born for six months. Breastfeeding proofed to reduce infant mortality and morbidity. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low at around 37.3%. The cause of the low number of breastfeeding is the lack of information obtained by the mother, affecting the mother's knowledge and belief. Breastfeeding mothers need the correct information. This information can be obtained from lactation counseling provided by health workers. This study aims to analyze the effect of counseling on knowledge, mothers' self-confidence, and breastfeeding ability in postpartum mothers. This research was conducted in July–September 2021 in the working area of the Sukaluyu Public Health Center, Cianjur regency. This research method uses a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only with a control group design—the sample in this study was 60 respondents, primigravida mothers aged 37 weeks to 1 month postpartum. The analysis used is the t-test and the Mann-Whitney test. This study uses three instruments: knowledge, self-confidence in the form of a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Form (BSESF) questionnaire, and a breastfeeding ability observation sheet. The study results on mothers' knowledge in the intervention group were higher, namely 26, and there was a significant difference between the knowledge of the two groups (p=0.03). There are differences in the beliefs of breastfeeding mothers after being given counseling (p=0.001). There is no difference in the mothers' ability of the two groups after counseling (p=1.000). In conclusion, lactation counseling using video media increases the knowledge and confidence of breastfeeding mothers compared to those given standard care.

Anxiety in primigravida mothers can arise in the third trimester and can harm pregnant women and their babies by leading to stunted fetal growth, weakening of uterine muscle contractions, increased risk of giving birth to premature babies, and affecting the growth and development of children. High levels of anxiety in pregnant women can be caused by several factors including the characteristics of the mother. Midwives must know the causal factors and how to overcome them. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of anxiety in primigravida mothers in the third trimester in the face of childbirth and the factors that influence this. An analytic observational design was used with a cross-sectional approach. The sample included 35 pregnant women in the third trimester, recruited by consecutive sampling. Data were collected by questionnaires. The univariate data analysis looked at the frequency distribution and the bivariate analysis used the Chi-square test. The results showed that 60.0% of the women had mild anxiety and 40.0% had moderate anxiety. There was a significant relationship between the characteristics of age (p = 0.001; OR: 3.672; 95% CI: 0.20-0.85), education (p = 0.005; OR: 2.552; 95% CI: 0.30-0.75) and economic status (p = 0.003; OR: 1.552; 95% CI: 0.56-3.75) with anxiety of primigravida pregnant women in facing childbirth. It is recommended that pregnant women routinely carry out prenatal check-ups at health facilities to help mothers obtain information related to their pregnancy, so they can control the anxiety that arises during their pregnancy.
