Hypertension in pregnancy can continue until the day of labor which may cause fetal growth disorders that will affect the baby's birth weight. Therefore, a pregnant mother with a high blood pressure tends to have a higher risk of having a low-birth weight baby. The novelty in this study is because it examines the relationship between hypertension in pregnancy and the incidence of low birth weight babies. The major objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between hypertension in pregnancy and the occurrences of low-birth weight in babies. The methodological approach used in this research was an observational analytical study by using a cross sectional approach. The samples of this research were selected by using a consecutive sampling method where 350 samples were selected as samples of this research. The data analysis was conducted by using Chi-Square test.Based on the Chi-Square test, it was apparent that there was a significant relationship between hypertension in pregnancy and the occurrences of low birth weight with the p value of 0.05. The calculation results of the Prevalence Ratio (PR) showed that pregnant women with hypertension were at risk at 1.661 times to have low-birth weight babies (95% CI 1.284- 4.849). It could be concludedÂ from this research that there was a relationshipÂ between hypertension in pregnancy and the occurrences of low birth weight in Makassar.Keyword: Hypertension in Pregnancy; Low-birth Weight Babies; Pregnancy.
