Abstract

Maternal health is an important indicator in determining the quality of future generations. One of the nutritional problems often faced by pregnant women is chronic energy deficiency (CED), which is a nutritional problem caused by long-term malnutrition characterized by a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of less than 23.5 cm. This study aims to provide midwifery care for pregnancies with cases of chronic energy deficiency (CED). The study design is a case study with data collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation. The results of the case study show that the patient is at risk of mild CED based on UAC, while other indicators are still normal and the pregnancy care provided is running smoothly according to the prevention plan.
