Abstract

The antenatal classes is a study group of pregnant women with gestational age between 4 weeks to 36 weeks with a maximum of 10 participants. The purpose of this study is to describe an overview of the implementation of antenatal classes based on information from the participants of antenatal classes, midwives, and health experts/academicians. This is quantitative research; questionnaires involved 206 respondents, in both city and district of Semarang, and informed consent was provided to the informants and signed it before interviewing them. By the program, the implementation of antenatal classes goes well as carried out by the Puskesmas (community health centers). By the fact, there were inappropriate methods in delivering materials of antenatal classes, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and special facilities that should be provided for pregnant women and need to be considered and improved.
