One of the health problems in Indonesia is the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). The World Health Organization (WHO) states that maternal deaths are deaths that occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days postpartum which can be caused either directly or indirectly to pregnancy. Pregnancy is a happiness that can be felt by pregnant women who plan and look forward to it. During pregnancy, changes will occur both physical and psychological changes. Psychological changes also occur in pregnant women especially just before delivery. Pregnant women feel anxious because of hormonal changes and thoughts before delivery. Exercise and relaxation techniques during pregnancy are needed to reduce the anxiety of pregnant women. Pregnant gymnastics is one of the sports activities that mothers can do during pregnancy. The aim of community service is to increase the knowledge of pregnant women about pregnancy exercise and teach pregnancy exercise. The target community service is 10 pregnant women in Tambakreja Village. This service begins with health education about pregnancy exercise and then continues with pregnancy exercise practice. As a result of community service, there was an increase in knowledge by 38% from before counseling to counseling. Pregnant women are also able to practice pregnancy exercises properly.

The aims of this study were to investigate the participation motives of pregnant women involved in exercise classes and to examine the differences in reasons for participation based on age, stage of pregnancy, and prior exercise levels. To assess the exercise motives of pregnant women, the Participation Motivation Questionnaire for Exercise in Pregnancy (PMQEP) was administered to 131 women (mean age, 32.2 years) participating in exercise classes designed specifically for pregnant women. Findings indicated that the most important exercise motive was 'to keep healthy for the baby', followed by 'to cope better with the physical changes of pregnancy', 'I want to be physically fit', ?I want to stay in shape', and 'to cope better with labour'. Principal components analysis of the PMQEP established five factors: 'Social', 'Physical Fitness', 'Coping with Pregnancy', 'Achievement/Energy Release', and 'Preparation for Labour/Challenge'. Further, discriminant function analysis revealed differences in motives based on age and prior exercise levels. These findings have important implications for designing and implementing exercise classes for pregnant women, and should be considered when encouraging pregnant women to exercise throughout pregnancy.

Full textAbstract:
One of the poor indicators of the development and health status of a country is high maternal mortality. The world has seen that one pregnant woman in every two minutes dies because of complication with serious or long-lasting consequences. During pregnancy, pregnant women tend to reduce physical activity due to increased sensitivity factors. It will lead to decrease the elasticity of muscles and joints. The way to improve the elasticity is doing exercise during pregnancy. But, there are still many pregnant women who are less interested in doing exercise during pregnancy, due to high loaded in working day and dense schedule of daily activities in her career or as a housewife. Some women assume that by attending pregnancy exercise course in hospitals or health care centers is time-consuming and too formal because they have to follow the prenatal personal trainer schedule. The technology that allows helping pregnant women in exercise during pregnancy is virtual reality. In this study, the development of virtual reality application for exercise during pregnancy adapted from the methodology to determine when to use virtual reality in education and training combined with the Immersive Virtual Environment (IVE) questionnaire. The average results of overall components in the IVE questionnaire is 4.26 of 5-point scales that indicates the virtual reality application for exercise during pregnancy is feasible to use by pregnant woman.

Full textAbstract:
Research findings have indicated that involvement in exercise can be beneficial to a pregnant woman and to the child she is carrying. Despite the apparent importance of this topic, researchers have directed little attention to the behavioural consequences of exercise for pregnant women. Furthermore, most of the investigations in this area have been vulnerable to serious criticisms of design, analysis, or interpretation. Notwithstanding these criticisms, the literature suggests that involvement in exercise during pregnancy is associated with perception of reduced negative symptoms, improvements in general mood, reduced depression, and increased self-esteem. As well, studies of childbirth stress have indicated that women who exercise during pregnancy reported less effort and lowered experience of pain in the birth process. In terms of best clinical practice it was recommended that health professionals should focus on the processes of informing, educating, and encouraging women about exercise in pregnancy, screening at-risk women, and identifying appropriate activities.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, pregnant women in China generally face problems such as unbalanced and excessive nutrition, lack of proper exercise during pregnancy, which shows a significant increase in weight during pregnancy, leading to an increasing trend of perinatal complications. At present, there is less sports health management system for pregnant women throughout pregnancy. In view of this, based on the existing research in related fields, this study deeply explores the appropriate monitoring methods of pregnant women’s sports in China. In this study, effective and convenient testing methods and evaluation criteria were proposed for pregnant women’s sports and psychology. The research idea was a method based on the pulse wave to detect pregnant women’s cardiac reserve capacity, and grading the Diastolic/Systolic value of pregnant women as a reference for grading individualized target heart rate range of moderate intensity exercise. The effective time and energy expenditure of pregnant women were assessed by monitoring the exercise process. The purpose is to help and guide pregnant women in the whole process of pregnancy self-movement management, and thus improve the quality of maternal health care services in China.

Background “Is pregnancy opportunity or a barrier for engaging in exercise”. Maternal health still is a top priority in sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. Participation in exercises during pregnancy in low-middle income countries is constrained. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of antenatal exercises among Ethiopian women during pregnancy, and also to examine the barriers to prenatal physical activity. Methods A descriptive hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted and 349 pregnant women receiving prenatal care at the ante-natal care clinic, University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital were recruited. Data were obtained on maternal characteristics, knowledge, attitude, practice, and barriers towards antenatal exercise (ANEx) by interview method. Results Among 349 pregnant women, 138 (39.5%) and 193 (55.3%) had adequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and good practice respectively. Overall, 108 (30.9) of the respondents practiced antenatal exercise, while only 41 (37.9%) of those pregnant women had a good practice. Brisk walking (90.7%), relaxation (38.9%), and breathing exercise (36.1%) were most practice ANEx, while pelvic floor 6 (5.6%) and 3 (2.8%) yoga were the least practiced. Enhancing post-natal recovery (71%) and vaginal bleeding (64.5) were perceived as benefits and contraindication of ANEx. More than half of the pregnant women (53.6) reported that ANEx is not appropriate for Ethiopian culture. Knowledge, attitude, and practice of ANEx among pregnant women are significantly associated with higher education, government employees, pre-pregnancy exercise, and being advised on ANEx before. Women with adequate knowledge are more likely to have a good practice (AOR 4.53, 95%CI: 1.64, 15.3). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that knowledge concerning antenatal exercise is low and their attitude is reasonably favorable. However, very few Ethiopian pregnant practices ANEx according to recommended guidelines during pregnancy.

Abstract Objective To assess the patterns and intensities of physical activity among pregnant women in southwestern China, which help us create a fitness regimen based on the 2002 American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines for exercise during pregnancy. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed to recruit pregnant women at a prenatal checking visit clinic with the self-administered Chinese version of Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ). Results A total of 1179 Chinese pregnant women were enrolled, of whom 92.60% were classified as not meeting the ACOG guidelines. By intensity, 47.36% of the score was attributed to light-intensity activities (1.5 to <3.0 metabolic equivalent [MET]) in the first trimester; the other 2 trimesters were similar. By patterns, about 45.15% of the score was attributed to inactivity. More than 82.35% of enrolled pregnant women regarded slowly walking as the most common type of exercise during pregnancy. Conclusions This study represents a group of Chinese women who maintained an inactive lifestyle, including low-intensity activities and unitary type of exercises during their pregnancy. Health-care providers are advised to provide appropriate physical activity guidelines to pregnant women. Development of MET-hours/week recommendations is warranted to promote greater physical activity during pregnancy.

Background: Regular physical activity during pregnancy has a positive effect on the psychophysical condition of the pregnant woman, pregnancy and fetal development, parturition and the postpartum period. However, its level in pregnant women is insufficient in most countries. For an exercise program to be effective it must take into account four training components: intensity, frequency, duration and its content - through a proper selection of the type of exercises and their technique. In this work we aimed to answer the question what information on the contents of prenatal exercises is provided in the current guidelines for exercise during pregnancy in different countries. Methods and Results: We have analyzed 11 documents, that were the official position of national obstetrics, gynecology, or sports medicine institutions from 7 countries. The guidelines provide little information on the contents of prenatal exercise and on the adaptation of sports activities to pregnancy. Conclusions: The guidelines for exercise in pregnancy should be updated based on high-quality research and in collaboration with practitioners in the field of prenatal physical activity, which could increase the chances of their implementation. Trustworthy and comprehensive guidelines created on the basis of international and interdisciplinary initiatives should be disseminated among all interested in prenatal physical activity: pregnant women and their families, obstetrics care providers and exercise professionals to enable them an effective cooperation and to globally promote exercise in pregnancy.

Anxiety is an object of uncertainty. Pregnant mothers' anxiety when facing the pregnancy process is different. Nearly 60% of pregnant women do not routinely perform ANC and most women worry about being referred to the hospital during labor, so many feel anxious. In fact, these complications can basically be detected earlier if the mother routinely and obediently performs an ANC. The solution to this problem is to reduce anxiety and optimize the motivation of pregnant women to develop a program to increase the knowledge of pregnant women and the compliance of pregnant women to carry out ANC with a discussion approach among pregnant women through the formation of Prenatal Classes. The form of science and technology transfer begins with a pre-test and ends with a post-test, education is delivered with an easy-to-understand method that provides material about: nutrition for pregnant women, discomfort of pregnant women, danger signs for pregnant women, preparation for delivery, preparation for breastfeeding, postpartum birth control, and pregnancy exercise. All participants also immediately did pregnancy exercise at the time of implementation according to instructions from the proposing team. In addition, fellow participants also discussed and exchanged experiences about their pregnancy. The anxiety level of pregnant women from the pre-test and post-test results decreased by 6.85%, participants felt calmer in dealing with the process of pregnancy, especially in the face of childbirth. The most important thing for this activity is that the mother will teach other pregnant women.

Introduction: Physical activity and exercise during pregnancy is regarded safe and beneficial in absence of pregnancy complications. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to describe physical activity of pregnant women in Greece and explore if it changes during pregnancy compared to the period before pregnancy. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in a private maternity hospital. Women were asked to fill in an adapted questionnaire based on Pregnant Physical Activity Questionnaire; birth outcomes and anthropometric measurements of the neonate were collected by the research midwife. Results: In our study population of 193 pregnant women, approximately half reported no or minimal physical activity during pregnancy and were less active than current guidelines’ recommendations. Gynaecologist’s opinion regarding exercise during pregnancy was conceived as positive only by a minority of women. Overall, women were less active during pregnancy than before, although they spent more time slowly walking for fun or exercise. Lastly, significant decrease was observed in all occupational activities involving slow or quick walking and lifting weights. Conclusions: These results indicate that systematic counselling of pregnant women regarding physical activity and exercise during pregnancy will be needed to achieve optimal physical activity levels for the majority of women in Greece.

Working during pregnancy has negative effect for the health status of pregnant women. Exercises during pregnancy is one of the ways to improve the health status of pregnant women. The aim of research was to analyze the differences of duration and type of childbirth based on the exercises during pregnancy on working mother. This research was an observational analytic study with retrospective cohort design. The exposed population was third trimester of pregnant women who worked and participated in pregnancy exercises > 180 minutes. The non-exposed population was third trimester of pregnant women who worked and participated in pregnancy exercises ≤ 180 minutes. Sample for the exposed group was 30 pregnant women and the non-exposed group was 60 pregnant women. The research analysis was to find the RR value with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Pregnant women who participated in pregnancy exercises have a short or normal childbirth period 1.543 times than non-participated women. Pregnant women who participated in pregnancy exercises have a normal type of childbirth 1.256 times than non-participated women. There were differences of duration and type of childbirth based on the pregnancy exercises on working mother.

When pregnancy enters the third trimester, physical and psychological changes will occur. Physical changes in the third trimester of pregnancy such as increased frequency of urination, enlarged uterus, back pain and fetal movement and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy include anxiety, fear and depression. This condition causes sleep disorders in pregnant women. The preliminary study conducted by researchers at the midwifery clinic of Puskesmas Tiban Baru amounted to 30 people. After being interviewed, 17 of them were pregnant women in their third trimester who had trouble sleeping at night. Management to overcome this difficulty sleeping includes non-pharmacological pregnancy exercises. This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnancy exercise with. This research method used cross sectional. This research instrument used an instrument, a sample of 30 pregnant people. The results of this study were that more than 67% of routine pregnancy exercise was performed and 77% good sleep duration, in this case the results of the Chi-square test conducted had a significant relationship between exercise. pregnant with sleep duration. With a significant value of p <0.05, that is = 0.002. From the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between pregnancy exercise and sleep duration, in this case research suggests that for further research the factors that cause sleep duration are reduced in pregnant women.

This cross-sectional study examined mechanisms through which exercise might alter preeclampsia risk by estimating the effects of acute and chronic exercise on angiogenic markers in healthy pregnant women with different amounts of regular exercise participation. Serum-soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), placental growth factor (PlGF), and soluble endoglin (sEng) were measured before and after 20 min of moderate-intensity cycle ergometry in normotensive, nonsmoking pregnant (16 active, 9 inactive, 34.1 ± 1.6 wk gestation) and nonpregnant (15 active, 12 inactive, midlate luteal phase) women. Inactive women did not regularly exercise at an intensity that was sufficient to cause sweating. Active women exercised for at least 3 h/wk. Inactive pregnant women had significantly lower PlGF concentrations [median (interquartile range): 268 (159, 290) vs. 278 (221, 647) pg/ml, P = 0.014] and higher sFlt-1 [5,180 (4,540, 5,834) vs. 4,217 (2,014, 5,481) pg/ml, P = 0.005] and sEng concentrations [9.1 (7.7, 16.7) vs. 7.8 (6.5, 10.1) ng/ml, P = 0.025] than active pregnant women. This effect of regular exercise participation was not observed in nonpregnant women. Acute exercise in pregnancy was not associated with antiangiogenic changes that might contribute to preeclampsia; rather, there was a small, but statistically significant, increase in PlGF following acute exercise in active pregnant women [278 (221, 647) vs. 335 (245, 628) pg/ml, P = 0.014]. sFlt-1 increased significantly following acute exercise in inactive nonpregnant women [90 (86, 100) vs. 106 (101, 116) pg/ml, P = 0.012], but not in active nonpregnant women. Regular exercise during pregnancy is associated with higher serum PlGF and lower sFlt-1 and sEng concentrations in late gestation, a difference that is unlikely to have predated the pregnancy.

AbstractExercise during pregnancy may be beneficial provided that there are no contraindications. The aim of this study was to summarize and compare recommendations regarding exercise in pregnancy. Thus, a comparative descriptive review was conducted and included guidelines by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. All compared guidelines recommend that pregnant women without contraindications should undertake physical activities regularly, however, the type of workout performed should be adjusted based on the previous exercise experience and the physical condition of each pregnant woman. A variation among the reviewed guidelines was identified on appropriate and inappropriate activities and on indications to interrupt exercise. To summarize, the adoption of an international up-to-date consensus regarding appropriate exercise during pregnancy may be beneficial in ensuring the safety of the pregnant women while promoting their physical and mental health.

Pregnancy is a natural event experienced by a mother. During pregnancy, the mother will experience physical and mental changes. Changes that occur even provide discomfort for mothers such as back pain, aches in the legs, anxiety, and so forth. One treatment for pregnancy is exercise. pregnant women who exercise regularly, report lower levels of discomfort during the pregnancy process, and heal faster than those who do not exercise during pregnanc. For those who are active in sports, require a little intervention Sectio Caesarea (SC) and can shorten the first and second stages of labor compared with those who do not exercise. One of the sports is prenatal yoga. Putri Ayu Health Center is one of the Health Centers that has provided pregnancy exercise services but has never provided prenatal yoga services in pregnancy, on the grounds that there are no trained personnel at the Puskesmas. Community Service Activities carried out at the Putri Ayu Health Center, Jambi City, time of implementation in June 2019. The target is pregnant women, especially TM III with survey approach methods, lectures, discussions, demonstrations / simulations. The results obtained by mothers are able to understand about prenatal yoga and its benefits and can do prenatal yoga routinely. It is suggested to the puskesmas to facilitate prenatal yoga.

Background Women who are pregnant and healthy are recommended to do 30 minutes or more of light to moderate exercise a day on most, if not all, days of the week. However, only 1 of 6 pregnant women in the United States and northern Europe follows these recommendations. Little attention has been given to the experience of exercise in pregnancy. Objectives The aim of the study was to describe experiences of exercise during pregnancy among women who performed regular resistance training. Design This was a qualitative, inductive content analysis study. Methods Seventeen pregnant women who exercised on a regular basis participated in individual semistructured, face-to-face interviews that were recorded, transcribed, coded, and condensed into subcategories and categories. Results Four categories emerged (subcategories within parentheses): (1) positive impact on body and mind (reduced pregnancy-related problems, increased self-confidence and sense of control, immediate positive feedback, and effects on lifestyle and quality of life); (2) expected benefits and facilitators (knowledge of health benefits, part of one's lifestyle, preventing pregnancy-related problems, social support, staying in good shape, and healthy living with regard to the fetus); (3) new exercise barriers (physical limitations, taking care not to harm oneself or the fetus, uncertainty or lack of knowledge, sense of exclusion at the fitness center, lack of understanding on the part of others, and the pregnancy itself provided an easy excuse); and (4) overcoming exercise barriers (lowering the intensity of exercise, modifying the type of exercise, changing exercise goals, and being extra attentive during exercise). Conclusion Pregnant women strived to exercise if the exercise facilitators outweighed the barriers. As the study described facilitators, barriers, and strategies for how to overcome exercise barriers, the results can be useful in exercise promotion in healthy pregnancy.

Pregnant women are recommended to engage in 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity per week to reduce pregnancy complications. Many women struggle to remain physically active throughout pregnancy, and there is no consensus about whether women adopt a less efficient movement pattern as they progress through pregnancy and experience gestational weight gain. This study assessed the change in energy expenditure and mechanical efficiency in pregnant women (PREG; n = 10) when performing a walking treadmill task in early, mid, and late pregnancy and also compared with an age- and body mass index-matched, nonpregnant (CON; n = 10) group. On average, the PREG group gained within the Institute of Medicine’s gestational weight gain guidelines (11.6 ± 3.6 kg) and were all inactive (measured using accelerometry), except for 1 participant, by the third trimester, as per the 2019 Canadian physical activity guidelines for pregnant women. Energy expended to complete the walking task increased throughout pregnancy and was higher than the controls (111.5 ± 24.6 kcal) in mid and late pregnancy (139.0 ± 22.2 kcal, p = 0.02, and 147.3 ± 24.6 kcal, p = 0.005, respectively), but not early pregnancy (129.9 ± 18.9 kcal, p = 0.08). Walking mechanical efficiency was similar within pregnant women at each time point and compared to nonpregnant controls. Our findings add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating that pregnant women can safely perform physical activity by showing that walking mechanical efficiency is unchanged at low to moderate intensities. Novelty Energy demand during exercise increases proportionally to weight gain across pregnancy trimesters. However, mechanical efficiency remains unchanged during low- to moderate-intensity walking.

Full textAbstract:
Whether brachial artery FMD (flow-mediated dilation) is altered in pregnancy by 28–35 weeks compared with non-pregnant women remains controversial. The controversy may be due to limitations of previous studies that include failing to: (i) test non-pregnant controls in the mid-late luteal phase, (ii) account for effects of pregnancy on the dilatory shear stimulus, (iii) account for physical activity or (iv) control for inter-individual variation in the time to peak FMD. In the present study, brachial artery FMD was measured in 17 active and eight sedentary pregnant women (34.1±1.6 weeks of gestation), and in 19 active and 11 sedentary non-pregnant women (mid-late luteal phase). Decreased vascular tone secondary to increased shear stress contributes minimally to pregnancy-induced increases in baseline brachial artery diameter, as shear stress removal during distal cuff inflation in pregnant women did not reduce diameter to baseline levels observed in non-pregnant controls. Neither the shear stimulus nor the percentage FMD was affected by pregnancy or regular exercise. Continuous diameter measurements are required to control for delayed peak dilation during pregnancy (57±15 compared with 46±15 s; P=0.012), as post-release diameter measured at 60 or 55–65 s post-release underestimated FMD to a greater extent in non-pregnant than in pregnant women.

Background:Although physical activity can provide health benefits to pregnant women, population-based research on the circumstances surrounding injuries from physical activity during pregnancy is lacking.Methods:Physical activity and subsequent injuries among a cohort of 1469 pregnant women in North Carolina were examined prospectively from the third phase of the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition Study between 2001 and 2005. Chi-square analyses were used to compare distributions of maternal characteristics among women who sustained injuries from physical activity and women who reported no injuries during pregnancy. Injury incidence rates were calculated.Results:Few pregnant women (N = 34) reported a physical activity-related injury during pregnancy. The rates of physical activity-related and exercise-related injuries during pregnancy were 3.2 per 1000 physical activity hours and 4.1 per 1000 exercise hours, respectively. The most common types of injuries were bruises or scrapes (55%). Among all injuries, 33% resulted from exercise and 67% resulted from nonexercise physical activities. Sixty-four percent of all injuries were due to falls.Conclusions:The incidence of injury from physical activity was low during pregnancy. Women should continue to be encouraged to maintain involvement in physical activity during pregnancy, while being aware of the potential for injury, particularly falls, from these activities.

Body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are important factors for neonatal and maternal health. Exercise helps women moderate their BMI and GWG, and provides health benefits to mother and child. This survey study assessed patients’ perceptions of counseling they received during pregnancy, their sources of information about GWG, and their attitudes toward exercise during pregnancy. We distributed an anonymous survey to 200 pregnant women over the age of 18 at a tertiary care center in Danville, Pennsylvania. Survey questions included demographics, discussions with medical providers regarding GWG and exercise, and their exercise habits before and during pregnancy. 182 women (91%) responded. Most reported their provider discussed weight and diet (78.8%), expected GWG (81.6%), and exercise during pregnancy (79.8%); however, 28% of obese women and 25% of women who did not plan to exercise during pregnancy reported not receiving exercise counseling. Approximately 20% of women did not plan to exercise during pregnancy. Women decreased the number of days per week they exercised (40.6% with 3 or more days prepregnancy versus 30.7% during pregnancy, P=0.002). Some patients who did not exercise prior to pregnancy (12%) expressed interest in a personal training session. Among women in the eight month or later, 42.4% were above GWG recommendations. Our study found barriers to adequate activity during pregnancy; 20% of pregnant women not receiving/remembering counseling regarding exercise. Interest in personal training from patients that did not exercise suggests they would benefit from increased efforts to encourage physical activity. Exercise and GWG counseling based in medical science as well as patient psychological needs will help efforts to reduce GWG and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Regular physical activity has been shown to improve pregnancy outcomes. We sought to identify barriers to exercise during the first trimester of pregnancy. Five hundred forty-nine pregnant women in their first trimester rated barriers to exercise on a scale of 1 (not a barrier) to 5 (a huge barrier) and recorded physical activity (minutes/week). Women were placed into one of three classifications, nonexercisers (zero exercise), infrequent exercisers (<150 minutes/week), or exercisers (≥150 minutes/week). The greatest barriers (mean) were nausea/fatigue (3.0) and lack of time (2.6). Exercisers reported significantly lower barrier levels. Nausea/fatigue was a greater barrier for nonexercisers compared to exercisers (3.6 vs 2.8, p < .001). Focusing education and interventions on these barriers may help pregnant women achieve healthy exercise levels.

Pregnancy and childbirth are physiological but require good preparation and assistance from family and health professionals to minimize the risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications. From the results of interviews with the Coordinator of Maternal and Child Health at the Purwojati Community Health Center, there were quite a number of problems, including underage or over 35 years of pregnancy, pregnancy outside marriage, pregnancy with Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) and anemia in pregnancy. Discomfort of many trimester III pregnancies are also found such as back pain, constipation, frequent urination and swelling in the legs.
The purpose of this activity is the formation and activation of classes of pregnant women who are equipped with complementary care and synergize between standard care with innovations that are expected to maximize services at both the Posyandu or Puskesmas levels. Assistance of high risk mothers is carried out with early detection, physical examination, laboratory examination, health education, and also some activities such as pelvic rocking exercise.
From the results of early detection conducted in Karangmangu Village, there were cases of pregnant women experiencing chronic energy deficiency of 16.2%, Anemia of 21.1%, pregnancy with diabetes risk of diabetes 8.1%, positive urine protein 5.4% and others pregnancy is accompanied by an infectious disease of 5.4%. In addition to the findings of the problem there are also complaints that are felt by many pregnant women, including constipation, cramps, frequent urination and back pain. The conclusion of this activity is the formation of a class of pregnant women in Karangmangu Posyandu 2 which is implemented in Karangmangu Village Polyclinic so that the pregnant class is not focused in Purwojati Puskesmas, the detection of pregnancy problems so that assistance can be made especially to high risk pregnant women, the increase in knowledge of mothers pregnancy and back pain, cramps, constipation can be minimized with pelvic rocking exercises

Background. A negative association between obesity and pregnancy outcomes has been described, as well as between time sedentary and pregnancy outcomes. Most interventions based on physical activity involving obese pregnant women have failed in improving pregnancy outcomes. Exchanging time spent in sedentary activities with time spent in light-intensity activities, performed in a home-based setting, might help morbidly obese pregnant women. We aimed to assess the feasibility of an exercise intervention. Methods. An exercise intervention for morbidly obese pregnant women was designed involving morbidly obese pregnant women. Pregnant women with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m² with 20 or less weeks of gestation were invited to take part in the OPALS Feasibility Study. A home-based approach was employed. Participants were asked to perform the intervention for at least 12 weeks, and to register their performance in an activity diary. After the intervention, participants were asked to return the activity diary and answer a feasibility questionnaire. Results. In the intervention, 28 participants took part. Six women completed the intervention for 12 weeks or more. All declared they intended to keep on doing the intervention. All women reported that the exercises made them feel better. Conclusion. Empowering, and involving morbidly obese pregnant women in taking care of themselves and giving them realistic tasks to do on their own and around their environment helps to increase commitment, as does avoiding the effect of their own weight whilst exercising. A 20% of compliance was observed in this study, which might be explained by the difficulties that pregnancy and excess weight mean. Thus, for future studies, we suggest adding a supervision plan to increase that number.

AbstractObjective: We assessed exercise levels and psychosocial aspects of exercise among pregnant smokers. Methods: A cross-sectional telephone survey of 88 pregnant smokers assessed levels of participation in exercise and psychosocial aspects of exercise; namely, self-efficacy, beliefs, perceived social support, perceived barriers, intentions and stage of change. Results: The women reported slightly higher levels of physical activity than for the general population of young women. The vast majority of women interviewed reported that exercise was important in their pregnancy, that they intended exercising regularly during pregnancy and were interested in exercise classes as an aid to smoking cessation. Fatigue was the most commonly reported barrier to physical activity during pregnancy, followed by ‘it takes too much time’, ‘uncomfortable when I exercise’ or ‘not sure what to do’. The vast majority of women expressed very little confidence and social support towards exercising. Conclusion: The results suggest that there is potential for using physical activity as an aid to smoking cessation during pregnancy. However, such interventions would need to be sufficiently intensive to address perceived barriers to exercise, lack of social support, low self-efficacy and be tailored to different stages of pregnancy.

The current health program in Indonesia is focused on improving the health status of vulnerable groups, one of which is pregnant women. This is indicated by the high rate of maternal and infant mortality. One of the government's efforts to overcome this problem is the concept of safe motherhood and antenatal care. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most pregnant women did not get medical check-up because they were worried about the corona virus. Therefore, online classes for pregnant women were conducted. This community service method is in the form of interactive education based on information technology online and offline. The targets are all pregnant women who carry out examinations at the Midwife Independent Practice of Yanyan Mulyani, while the targets for pregnancy exercise and prenatal yoga are 35 pregnant women with a gestational age of 28-39 weeks. The implementation technique is divided into three stages, namely the first stage is to assess the level of understanding of the respondent with a pre test, the second stage, namely the implementation of classes for pregnant women by providing online material and the implementation of offline pregnancy and prenatal yoga exercises, and the third stage, namely evaluating the material with post tests . The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge to be good by 68.6%. Providing information to the class of pregnant women by the facilitator on a regular basis and carried out every week with different materials makes pregnant women make pregnancy visits and regularly attend classes for pregnant women to stay healthy.

The labor process is influenced by three factors, namely Passage (birth canal), Passanger (fetus), Power (strength). Childbirth can run normally if all three factors are met properly. In addition, there are other factors that affect the delivery process, namely psychological and helper. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) can be reduced by various efforts, both promotive and preventive, by providing education in preparation for childbirth. This education can be an alternative for pregnant women to find out the extent of maternal and fetal development, increase maternal independence and train coping management for maternal stressors. Pregnancy exercise is a form of coping method that can avoid the occurrence of physical stress due to pregnancy, such as reducing leg and back cramps, increasing the mother's ability to adapt to changes in her body. This study aims to identify the effect of labor preparation services (pregnancy education and exercise) on the preparation for delivery of pregnant women in the working area of ??the UPT Puskesmas Alas Barat. Pre-experimental research design with one group pretest-post test design. The instrument used for data collection is a questionnaire. Testing the instrument using the product moment person validity test and reliability test. The analysis used is simple linear regression with the number of respondents as many as 102 pregnant women. The results showed that the regression significance value of the delivery preparation service variable (pregnancy education and exercise) on the preparation for delivery of pregnant women was 0.000 or less than 0.05. The hypothesis which states that delivery preparation services (pregnancy education and exercise) has an effect on preparation for delivery of pregnant women (accepted). Based on the results of this study, it can be suggested that pregnant women play an active role in participating in activities during pregnancy so that mothers have knowledge about the needs during pregnancy, especially preparation for childbirth so as to minimize emergencies to the mother and fetus during the delivery process.

This study explored appearance-related images and messages present in pregnancy magazines (e.g. Fit Pregnancy, Pregnancy & Newborn, and Pregnancy Magazine). A substantial portion of advertisements and articles promoted appearance-related products or products for postpartum weight loss. Health messages and messages related to diet and exercise were also present. Images also sexualized pregnant women’s bodies. Appearance-related messages aimed toward pregnant women may be problematic and may contribute to body dissatisfaction in these women.

ABSTRACT Women who have had back pain before pregnancy are at higher risk of experiencing the same thing when pregnant. Therefore, it is very important to be able to differentiate pregnancy back pain from back pain that occurs due to other causes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Pelvic Rocking exercise on the reduction of back pain in trimester III pregnant women in the Bululawang Community Health Center, Malang Regency. This research design uses correlational analytic with one group pre test design approach. The population in this study were all pregnant women in PMB "E" working area of ??Puskesmas Bululawang 73 pregnant women with a sample size of 30 respondents who were taken using accidental sampling technique. The independent variable in this study was Pelvic Rocking exercise, while the dependent variable was back pain for pregnant women. Data analysis used the Wilcoxson test. Results of the Research Before giving treatment, the highest level of back pain was moderate pain as much as 18 pregnant women (60%), and after giving Pelvic Rocking exercise, the pain level was reduced by 26 pregnant women (86.7%). The Wilcoxson test results show that the p value or 0.002 <0.005, then Ho is rejected, thus the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. So the conclusion is that there is a significant effect between Pelvic Rocking Exercise on the reduction of back pain in trimester III pregnant women at PMB "E" in the working area of ??the Bululawang Community Health Center. The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of Pelvic Rocking Exercise on the reduction of back pain in trimester III pregnant women at PMB "E" in the working area of ??Bululawang Public Health Center.

Full textAbstract:
It is well established that exercise has numerous health benefits, especially in regard to weight management for the obese and overweight population. However, there is limited data to support the safety or effects of exercise in the obese and overweight pregnant population despite the fact that exercise and weight management in this demographic is particularly important. In an effort to establish the safety profile of exercise during pregnancy in this population, we tested the hypothesis that exercise would not result in adverse birth outcomes. We surveyed postpartum women with an average BMI of 34.7 regarding their participation in exercise during pregnancy. Our primary outcome of interest was small for gestational age (SGA). Secondary outcomes included gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, head circumference, length and birthweight as compared to those who did not exercise. SGA occurred in 12.5% of women who exercised in the first trimester compared to 14.9% in those who did not exercise (p = 0.678). Similar results were seen for women who exercised in the second and third trimesters. Intensity of exercise did not alter these findings and the analysis of secondary outcomes also did not demonstrate a difference between the groups. In conclusion, overweight and obese women who reported exercising during pregnancy did not have a higher incidence of SGA infants. Exercise should not be discouraged in pregnant women due to obesity.

Cerebrovascular adaptation to pregnancy is poorly understood. We sought to assess cerebrovascular regulation in response to visual stimulation, hypercapnia and exercise across the three trimesters of pregnancy. Using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, middle and posterior cerebral artery mean blood velocities (MCAvmean and PCAvmean) were measured continuously at rest and in response to (1) visual stimulation to assess neurovascular coupling (NVC); (2) a modified Duffin hyperoxic CO2 rebreathe test, and (3) an incremental cycling exercise test to volitional fatigue in non-pregnant ( n = 26; NP) and pregnant women (first trimester [ n = 13; TM1], second trimester [ n = 21; TM2], and third trimester [ n = 20; TM3]) in total 47 women. At rest, MCAvmean and PETCO2 were lower in TM2 compared to NP. PCAvmean was lower in TM2 but not TM1 or TM3 compared to NP. Cerebrovascular reactivity in MCAvmean and PCAvmean during the hypercapnic rebreathing test was not different between pregnant and non-pregnant women. MCAvmean continued to increase over the second half of the exercise test in TM2 and TM3, while it decreased in NP due to differences in ΔPETCO2 between groups. Pregnant women experienced a delayed decrease in MCAvmean in response to maximal exercise compared to non-pregnant controls which was explained by CO2 reactivity and PETCO2 level.

Background: Wide ranges of physiological changes occur as a result of pregnancy in women that, in certain cases, may cause variety of psychological and physical problems in pregnant women. Aquatic exercises believed to be safe for pregnant women and believed to foster positive effect on psychophysical health. Current health care setting and nursing emphasizes on evidence based approaches when developing and implementing interventions to address health related issues of pregnant women.
Purpose: This review sought to synthesize qualitatively the existing research evidences concerning association between aquatic exercises and psychophysical problems in pregnant women.
Methods: A 1989 records were yielded as result of conducting a systematic search in nine research data bases. After undergoing rigorous screening and assessment procedure of eligibility, and quality appraisal, a total of seventeen research articles were ultimately selected to include in this review.
Result: Out of seventeen admissible studies, ten studies found that aquatic exercises exerts positive impact to decreases variety of physical discomforts such as fatigue, pelvic pain, labor pain, and edema. The remaining seven studies presented beneficial effects of aquatic exercises for psychological factors such as body image, stress, depression, feelings, mood, distress, and anxiety in pregnant women. Moreover, among the seventeen studies, only two studies showed effectiveness of aquatic exercises to manage body weight and two studies found improvement in sleep during pregnancy.
Conclusion: This review found some evidence in support of the efficacy of aquatic exercises to reduce physical discomfort and improve psychological factors in pregnant women. More studies essential to reach stronger conclusion. The existing evidence concerning effectiveness of this intervention for weight management and sleep health during pregnancy is insufficient.

Background:Pregnant women who are physically active have a lower risk of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes than women who are less active. One possible mechanism is a reduction in low-grade inflammation, as measured by plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP). The association between exercise and CRP in pregnant women, however, has not been adequately investigated.Methods:A total of 537 pregnant women, enrolled around the 17th week of gestation in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study in 2003 to 2004, were studied. Self-reported recreational exercise was recalled for both 3 months before pregnancy and early pregnancy. The total energy expenditure from recreational exercise (total recreational exercise, metabolic equivalent of task [MET]-hr/week) was estimated, and low-, moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise was defined. Plasma CRP concentrations were measured during pregnancy.Results:In adjusted linear regression models, mean CRP concentration was 1.0% lower [95% CI = –1.9% to 0.2%] with each 1 MET-hr/week of total recreational exercise before pregnancy. In addition, vigorous-intensity exercise before pregnancy was more strongly related to a reduction in CRP levels than low- or moderate-intensity exercise. However, we observed no association between recreational exercise during pregnancy and plasma CRP levels.Conclusion:Recreational exercise before pregnancy, especially vigorous exercise, may reduce the risk of maternal inflammation during pregnancy.

Abstract Introduction There is sufficient evidence showing the positive effects of physical exercise on various aspects of pregnancy. This study evaluates knowledge and status of physical exercise among pregnant women. Methods The standardised paper-pencil questionnaire “Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire” (PPAQ) as well as general demographic questions were used to assess the exercise behaviour of study participants. 83 questionnaires completed by women presenting to the Kiel University Hospital for antenatal assessment were included in the analysis. Results At the time of questionnaire completion 10 women were in the first trimester of pregnancy, 64 in the second, and 9 in the third. Just less than 90% of participants felt they had been informed “sufficiently” on the topic physical exercise during pregnancy, over 50% felt they were “well” or “very well” informed. Just less than half of participants received their information from a doctor (either their gynaecologist or general practitioner) and none of these felt “insufficiently” informed. Almost 80% of participants reported still doing no sport or less exercise than before falling pregnant. The maximum proportional energy expenditure for recreational activity – just under 20% – was in the third trimester. Women who felt they had been well counselled tended to have higher activity levels. Conclusion Study participants demonstrated a clear decline in physical exercise during pregnancy despite clear evidence of the benefits of regular exercise for pregnant women, and despite participants feeling they were well informed. Detailed information on the recommendations for physical exertion in pregnancy should form an integral part of antenatal counselling.
