Abstract

Maternal mortality is closely related to anemia. The results of RISKESDAS 2018 regarding anemia in pregnant women showed a score of 48.9%. Besides anemia, another indicator to predict risk in pregnancy is weight gain. One of the solutions to improve maternal health and prevent complications is through the provision of prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga exercises may improve blood circulation, pushing water from the vascular to the interstitial, causing plasma volume to decrease and increasing hemoglobin levels. With regular prenatal yoga practice, weight gain and body fat will be less. This study aims to find out the effect of prenatal yoga on weight gain and Hb levels in second- and third-trimester pregnant women. Therefore, the researcher applied a comparative study with a quasi-experimental design. Samples were 63 second- and third-trimester pregnant women. The methodology of collecting data by measuring the body weight and the hemoglobin (Hb) level. The researcher analyzed the obtained by t-test, Paired t-test, Friedman test, and Mann-Whitney test. The results indicated that the weight gain in pregnant women from the intervention group was slightly less than that of the control group (p < 0.001). Hb levels in the intervention group was lower, with a consistent pattern. In conclusion, pregnant women participating in prenatal yoga had lower weight gain than those who did not participate in prenatal yoga. Besides, they also had a lower Hb level increase by a consistent pattern than those who did not participate in prenatal yoga.
