B Birth weight is an important and reliable indicator for the survival of neonates and infants, both in terms of maternal health, newborns and nutrition from developed and developing countries. One of the factors causing the occurrence of low birth weight is preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome of reduced organ perfusion due to vasospasm and endothelial activation, which is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria at gestational age above 20 weeks, most commonly seen at 37 weeks gestation, but can also occur at any time in mid-pregnancy. Currently, edema in pregnant women is considered normal and is not specific in the diagnosis of preeclampsia. In the case of pre-eclampsia, the increased blood pressure causes uteroplacental perfusion to decrease. This can cause blood circulation to the fetus to decrease so that the fetus will lack oxygen and nutrients. This can cause stunted fetal growth, where one of the manifestations is LBW. However, it cannot be denied that there are still many incidents of pre-eclampsia and low birth weight babies. Although these two incidents are related to each other, the incidence of low birth weight is not always caused by the mother with pre-eclampsia because there are other factors that can cause low birth weight, including preterm gestation, multiple pregnancy, antepartum hemorrhage. and others
