Pregnant women often have mental disorders. The prevalence rate of depression reaches 11%-17% in women during INTRODUCTION Pregnancy becomes an expression of a sense of self-realization and identity as a woman, worrying periods which need to had adjustment as their impacy in physical and psychological Pregnancy for a woman is a matter of happiness as well as anxiety, worrying about bad things that can happen to her and the fetus, especially during childbirth. The condition of pregnancy which was originally a source of happiness can turn into a certain anxiety, one of which is caused by a highrisk pregnancy condition. Pregnancy conditions that are at high risk can cause the fetus to be conceived not to grow healthily, it can even cause death to the mother and fetus. The results showed that high-risk pregnancies accounted for large mortality rates in many countries, both in Africa. Latin America, the Caribbean, and countries in Asia. Women who begin to realize that they are at high risk in pregnancy have their own anxiety in dealing with childbirth. Health problems in pregnant women, both physically and psychologically, have an impact on the quality of life of the Women have a condition that can increase the risk during pregnancy, about 15-20% of pregnancies including high-risk pregnancies. Women with high-risk pregnancies need to prepare themselves with more attention to their health conditions in dealing with pregnancy. Through improving For example, using a validated screening instrument,3 found that 11. 1% of third trimester pregnant women usually experience depression. In addition, most pregnant women experience symptoms of stress and anxiety thinking about their pregnancy. The prevalence of anxiety disorders during pregnancy and after pregnancy is about 15%. The cause of the mental disorder is not yet known in depth,4 but pregnancy and the puerperium are vulnerable and emotionally depressed periods. Anxiety of pregnant women is significant complications reported in 20-40% of pregnant Common causes of worry during pregnancy can range from fetal well being, maternal illness, social and financial support, and death. If this concern persists for a long time, it can become problematic and negatively impact behaviors that are potentially harmful to the mother and fetus, so it is necessary to increase maternal mental health screening and access to care. Hormonal changes in pregnant women such as levels of prolactin, steroids, and cortisol play an important role in their emotional well-being. If high risks such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, and the mother's age that is too young (<20 year. or too old (>35 year. occurs during pregnancy, then mother's emotional distress will rise. Worries during pregnancy and childbirth can negatively affect maternal psychology and unstable emotions. 6 The purpose of this journal is to find out the mental preparation of pregnant women who are high risk to pregnancy. Mental preparation for pregnant women who are at high risk is necessary in order to avoid mental disorders so as not to worsen the health of themselves or their fetuses.

Medline, and Cinahl database for research published in journals from 2017 until 2021. RESULT Mothers with High-risk Pregnancy Mothers with high-risk pregnancies are pregnant women who experience greater risk or danger during pregnancy or childbirth, when compared to normal pregnant women. High risk pregnancies are pathological pregnancies that can affect the condition of both the mother and fetus. Promotional and preventive efforts are needed until the time is taken with a firm and fast attitude to save the mother and her fetus. High-risk pregnancies can come from the mother, fetus, or other factors. Maternal factors include pregnancy at the age of less than 20 years or more than 35 years, fourth pregnancy or more, pregnancies with a distance of more than 5 years or less than 2 years, the mother's height is less than 145 cm and the mother has never given birth to a baby term and normal weight, pregnancy with disease . ypertension, diabetes, thyroid, heart, lung, kidney, tuberculosis, and other systemic disease. , pregnancy with certain conditions . terine myoma, ovarian cys. , pregnancy with anemia (Hb less than 10. 5 g%), pregnancy with a history of SC. Factors from the fetus can be caused by abnormalities in the location of the fetus . reech, transverse, oblique or diagonal, facial presentatio. , large fetus . stimated more than 4000 gram. , gameli or twins, fetus with stunted fetal growth, preterm fetus . Fetus with congenital defects or congenital abnormalities. Other factors are premature rupture of membranes, antepartum hemorrhage, placenta previa. Pregnancy with a high risk can result in several things, namely the baby is born not enough months, the baby is born with a low birth weight, miscarriage or abortus, childbirth is not smooth or jammed, bleeding before and after childbirth, the fetus dies in the womb, pregnant or maternity died, pregnancy poisoning or convulsions, and the occurrence of psychological/mental problems in the mother. Quality of Life in Mothers with High-risk Pregnancy High-risk pregnancy conditions as described above, can affect the mother's quality of life. The results of the study explored the effects of hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth as risk elements related by depressive indications while pregnancy and after delivery. Based on the output of this research, itAos known that pregnant women who give birth prematurely have high rates of depression, with lower quality of life compared to pregnant women who do not experience Meanwhile, pregnant women who experience hypertension rank the second who experience depression quality of life that goes down. Other high risk pregnant women also exhibit significant psychological problems. Factors that Affect Anxiety during Pregnancy High risk pregnancies are associated with anxiety during Pregnant women who are at high risk will feel worried about pregnancy and childbirth, so if psychological problems during pregnancy are not handled properly it can lead to mental disorders at a later stage. Risk factors from the mother, fetus, and other factors can also exacerbate the anxiety of pregnant women. Anxiety disorders can also be affected by the social support received by pregnant women . specially support from her husban. , and socioeconomic status such as family income, employment and education level. High-risk Pregnancy Disorders and Anxiety High-risk pregnancies account for about 15-20% of pregnancies, which can affect the health of the mother and the This risk can exacerbate stress in both risky and normal pregnancies, and result in high levels of cyclonic Women with high-risk pregnancies may experience an anxiety incidence 5. 2x greater than women with low-risk 10 High-risk pregnancies require increased care and more intensive visits by health workers, so that the mother's anxiety about her pregnancy can be reduced. Pregnancy is riskier in women who become pregnant at the age of 16 and 24 years, they can experience mental disorders.
