Main Article Content
Abstract
Pregnancy in the third trimester causes various physical and psychological changes that can affect the comfort and readiness of the mother to face childbirth. Anxiety, muscle tension, and lack of relaxation can cause discomfort leading up to childbirth. Prenatal yoga is one of the complementary therapies that can help improve relaxation, pelvic muscle flexibility, respiratory control, and mental readiness of the mother. This study aims to describe the benefits of prenatal yoga as a preparation for childbirth in pregnant women in the third trimester. The research used a qualitative method with a case study approach through Continuity of Care (COC) which was carried out for 2 weeks at PMB Tutik Purwani, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The respondent of the study was Mrs. F, age 32 years G3P2Ab0Ah2. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, physical examinations, KIA books, and medical records. The intervention was carried out through one prenatal yoga session for 30–40 minutes which included breathing exercises, stretching, relaxation, and malasana movements, then followed by independent exercises 4 times per week with a duration of 10 minutes each session for 2 weeks. The results of the study showed that mothers appeared more relaxed, comfortable, calm, and had better physical and psychological readiness to face childbirth. Prenatal yoga can be a complementary therapy that supports childbirth preparation in pregnant women in the third trimester.
