(Kemenkes, 2. Discomfort that is considered trivial can endanger the safety of the mother and One of them is associated with swelling of the feet and hands . with the incidence of preeclampsia, which is one of the causes of death in pregnant In Indonesia, in 2019 the most common cause of maternal death was bleeding . ,280 case. , hypertension in pregnancy . ,066 case. , and infection .

The goal of prenatal yoga is to prepare pregnant spiritually for the birthing process.

Major changes in physical, mental, and social aspects. These changes cannot be separated from there are factors that influence them which can be physical, environmental, social, cultural, and economic. Each factor influences the other because they are related to each other and can be a cause-and-effect relationship (Gultom, 2. To maintain health and support the basic needs of pregnant women in the third trimester, there needs to be support. Practicing yoga at this time is a useful solution as a self-help medium that will reduce discomfort during pregnancy, help with the birthing process, and even prepare mentally for the early days after giving birth and while raising children (Sindhu, 2. In yoga therapy yoga movements consisting of breathing control, relaxation, meditation, and diet are used to get rid of muscular and emotional stress, improve concentration, increase blood oxygen levels, and help the body in recovery.

MATERIALS AND METHODS This research uses an experimental research design, the research design uses a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control and intervention group This research was conducted from December 2022 - March 2023. Variables were divided into 2, namely independent and dependent. The population in this study were 30 pregnant women who had entered the third trimester of pregnancy . -40 week. at PBM Midwife Umrah Grogol Sukoharjo. The minimum sample size to obtain good results is 30, the intervention group is 15 pregnant women and the control group is 15 Non-probability sampling technique, a sample of 15 pregnant women for the intervention group and 15 pregnant women for the Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 114 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) control group. 15 pregnant women Statistical test using Mann Whitney. TM i pregnant women were treated to prenatal yoga classes 2 times with a duration of 60 minutes for each session. Previously, a pre-test was given at the first meeting, and at the second meeting after implementing prenatal yoga, a post-test was given. For approximately 1 week from the date of the first implementation, an online group was created in the form of WhatsApp to monitor whether mothers' complaints had subsided or not. In the group, yoga poses were also discussed to reduce discomfort structurally and Of course, don't deviate from what was taught at the beginning of the class meeting. After prenatal yoga was carried out and given a post-test, the instructor, researchers, and pregnant women discussed the discomfort of TM i and prenatal yoga movements. TM i pregnant women were recorded and collected in December with the inclusion criteria for the intervention group and control group, as follows: Third-trimester pregnancy . -40 weeks of pregnanc. is recorded in the KMS. The condition of the mother and fetus is healthy, recorded in the KMS Any parity and single pregnancy Have never done prenatal yoga in your current pregnant Willing to be involved in research, as evidenced by a letter of willingness to become a respondent RESULT Table 1.

Normality test The data normality test in this study used the Shapiro-Wilk test because each group had less than 50 data. Data had a normal distribution if the significance value was more than 0. 05 and abnormal distribution if the significance value was less than 0. In this study, unpaired data analysis was used, namely the intervention group and the control group. In unpaired data analysis, if the data for two groups is normally distributed, then the comparison test for the means of the intervention group and the control group uses the independent t test. If both groups or one of the groups has data that is not normally distributed, then the analysis uses the Whitney mean. In paired data analysis, namely pre and post, if the data for both groups is normally distributed, then the pre and post average comparison test uses the paired t If both groups or one group has data Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 115 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) that is not normally distributed, then the analysis uses the Wilcoxon sign rank test. analysis bias can be avoided so that the conclusions obtained are more accurate.

DISCUSSION Prenatal yoga is a combination of pregnancy exercise movements with antenatal yoga movements consisting of . , positions . , meditation, and relaxation to help smooth pregnancy and childbirth (Rusmita, 2. According to Field . , yoga is done with deep breathing which increases the flow of oxygen to the brain so that it can reduce Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 117 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) disorders, and pain symptoms including lower back pain. Pregnancy is a vulnerable period for health, including the health of the pregnant mother and the fetus she contains. Therefore, regular pregnancy checks . ntenatal car. need to be carried out to be abnormalities/disorders/diseases suffered by pregnant women (Suarayasa. In the third trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women feel more discomfort as the time of delivery gets closer. In this study, mothers felt more comfortable after doing prenatal yoga exercises others include swelling in the feet and hands, difficulty sleeping, difficulty defecating, cramps in the legs, numbness in the toes, and lower back pain. The results of the analysis before and after treatment in the intervention group using the Wilcoxon test showed p=0. <0. , so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the discomfort of TM i pregnant women in the intervention The results of the before and after analysis in the control group using the Wilcoxon test showed that p=1,000 . Ou0. , so it can be concluded that there was no difference in the discomfort of TM i pregnant women in the control group. Based on Table 7 above, it is known that based on the statistical tests carried out. Asymp. Sig . -taile. is p=0. <0. , so Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning there is a difference in the effectiveness of prenatal yoga on the level of discomfort of TM i pregnant women in the intervention group and the control group. Practicing yoga at this time is a useful solution as a self-help medium that will reduce discomfort during pregnancy, help with the birthing process, and even prepare mentally for the early days after giving birth and while raising Yoga helps improve physical condition, quality of life, self-efficacy relationships, and autonomic nervous system function, provides a sense of comfort, reduces or reduces labor pain, shortens the duration of labor, strengthens the back muscles, lower abdominal and pelvic muscles, and facilitates labor. and childbirth. 15 pregnant women who were treated with prenatal yoga with a duration of 1 hour . felt the benefits of prenatal yoga by reducing and not feeling the discomfort that the mothers previously This can be seen from the evaluation results 2 weeks after the prenatal yoga After the education was carried out. TM i pregnant women became more knowledgeable and understood about prenatal yoga and abdominal breathing The outcome achieved is practicing prenatal yoga and repeating prenatal yoga movement techniques to overcome the complaints of each individual pregnant mother whose complaints are different. CONCLUSION The results of statistical test analysis using Mann Whitney before and after treatment in the intervention and control groups showed p=0. <0. , so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the effectiveness of prenatal yoga on the level of discomfort of TM i pregnant women in the intervention group and control group. Physical complaints that are reduced after prenatal yoga include tingling in the fingers and toes, shortness of breath, dizziness, leg cramps, constipation, insomnia, upper and lower back pain, and Prenatal yoga is effective in reducing complaints of discomfort from pregnant women in the third trimester at PBM Midwife Umrah Grogol.
