Abstract

Normal delivery is one of the expectations of mothers after pregnancy, according to the international calendar pregnancy usually lasts 40 weeks, 10 lunar months, or 9 months. The pregnancy process is divided into three trimesters. The first semester is 12 weeks long, the second semester is 15 weeks (weeks 13 to 27), and the third semester is 13 weeks (weeks 28 to 40). Pregnancy planning that requires mental and physical preparation must be done before pregnancy in order to have a positive impact on the mental and physical changes of the mother during pregnancy and the condition of the fetus. As a health worker, it is necessary to teach activities that can increase normal labor, namely by teaching mothers pregnant gymnastics. Maternal health during pregnancy plays a very important role. Because if a mother maintains her health before and during pregnancy, then her baby will be born in normal conditions and the birth of premature babies or low birth weight can be prevented. mothers also need to be taught hypnotherapy methods as pain management to make it easier for mothers to perform normal labor, especially for mothers who do not know how actions can be taken at home and also in health services. One of the hypnotherapies that can help mothers is, using arome therapy that can calm feelings, and can reduce stress levels, there is also a method of giving affirmations to mothers during pregnancy, with the support of the mother's family can communicate well to the mother.
