The main complications that cause mothers to die in almost 75%      of all maternal deaths are bleeding, high blood pressure (preeclampsia and eclampsia), and infection. Based on the Indramayu District Health Profile in 2021, the highest maternal mortality is caused by hypertension in pregnancy (preeclampsia/eclampsia). Preeclampsia can occur due to unfavorable behavior of pregnant women.

Meanwhile, the variable that was not related to the behavior of pregnant women in preventing preeclampsia was access to health services (P=0.108).
