Background Indonesia failed to achieve the maternal mortality rate target as the MDGs' agreement in 2015. The Ministry of Health has developed health promotion and illness prevention programmes to improve women's health and wealthiness. However, only few studies provide information of women's health behaviour related to a health promotion and an illness prevention in the perinatal period comprehensively. This study aimed to determine women's health behaviour related to the health promotion and the illness prevention in the perinatal period; pre, intra, and postnatal. Method This study applied a descriptive quantitative approach. Samples were chosen using the Convenience sampling method. 51 women from Sukapada, Bandung were involved in this study. Data were collected using a questionarrie and analysed using a frequency distribution. Result This study found that the majority of respondents (96%) visited health services for prenatal visit. Women also concerned with other health activities including having tetanus vaccination (49%), consuming Iron tables and nutrisious food (65% and 61% respectively), and having give birth at health facilities (100%). In contrast, this study also found that women's participation in prenatal classes was limited (25%). In addition, to prevent prenatal and postnatal complications, women need to have a good understanding of dangerous signs in pregnancy and postpartum. However, the majority of them had limited health literacy about it. Conclusion Women's health behaviour in the perinatal period is varied. Health education programmes are required for increasingwomen's health literacy and awareness of health promotion and illness prevention in this period.
