Another aim of this research is to inform the impact of stress on pregnant women and also on the fetus they are carrying. In this study, the number of respondents was 30 people. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with data collection using a Likert scale consisting of 10 items arranged based on the dimensions of feeling of unpredictability, feeling of uncontrollability, and feeling of overloaded proposed by Cohen. The resulting data was then processed to find the frequency of stress levels in pregnant women. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was found that the stress level in pregnant women tends to be at a moderate to high level. Pregnant women have high levels of stress themselves, where pregnant mothers have burdens during pregnancy and it is difficult for them to overcome these burdens. Meanwhile, pregnant women with moderate levels of stress are mothers who are pregnant and have burdens during their pregnancy but they can still overcome them.
