The care was provided to Mrs. A, 37 years old, G2P1A0, at 27 weeks and 4 days of gestation in Teubaluy Village, Sub-district Darul Kamal, The regency of Aceh Besar. Subjective indicated that the mother had complained of back pain for the past week and had a history of cesarean delivery.

Objective examination results indicated that the mother's and fetus's general condition was good, with blood pressure 120/80 mmHg, fetal heart rate 139 beats/minute, and hemoglobin level 13.6 g/dL. The midwifery care provided included education on pregnancy exercises to reduce back pain, recommendations for adequate rest, continued consumption of iron tablets, nutritional counseling, and education on pregnancy danger signs.
