Method: Case-control studies were used in this study. Total the case group in this study was 16 mothers, while the control group was 16 mothers. Data were analyzed using a Chi-Square test. Results: The results of the analysis showed there are significant relationships between the age of mothers (p=0.000), parity (0.000), and the history of long-use of contraception (p=0.000 with the incidence of gestational hypertension in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters in the coastal area of East Flores Regency).

Recommendation: It is important for the health workers to increase mother’s knowledge and communities’ awareness about age at risk and parity at risk. Thus, health providers should carry out more routine monitoring and provide counseling about 4 important factors in planning pregnancy. }, issn = {2597-4378}, pages = {48--61} doi = {10.14710/jphtcr.v7i1.21053}, url = {https://ejournal2.undip.ac.id/index.php/jphtr/article/view/21053} }
