- Abstract
Pregnant exercise is very useful for improving the health of the mother and fetus. Pregnancy exercises will reduce the high maternal mortality rate that occurs in the 3rd trimester. However, every pregnant woman has a different perception about pregnancy exercise. The problem that occurs in the field is the lack of awareness of pregnant women about the importance of pregnancy exercise. The purpose of this research was to understand the role of pregnant mother’s characteristics on the perception of pregnancy exercises at Situ Sumedang Health Center. The design used in the study was cross sectional design. The samples were 153 second trimester pregnant women. The results showed 77 respondents (50.3%) had positive perceptions and 76 respondents (40.7 %) had negative perceptions. The education of pregnant women was found to be significantly related to the perception of pregnant women. This shows that pregnant women already have a positive perception about pregnancy exercise because the mother has received health education about pregnancy exercise in the class of pregnant women in each Poskesdes. It is recommended that the government together with the community try to improve education.
