Effectiveness of Providing Self-Management Education to Deal with Emesis Gravidarum on Decreasing Nausea Vomiting Pregnancy (NVP) at Private Practice Midwives Puskesmas IV Denpasar Selatan Work Area

Data shows that 50-90% of pregnant women experience nausea in the first trimester. Excessive gravida emesis will gain weight into hyperemesis gravidarum and can disrupt the mother’s metabolism including dehydration, weight loss, alkalosis, and hypokalemia.
