A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge on minor ailments of pregnancy among primipara mothers, and developed awareness on home remedies of minor ailments during pregnancy. A sample of 40 Primi para mothers were selected using purposive sampling technique at Antenatal clinic of Morigoan Civil Hospital, Assam. The tool used for gathering data on knowledge of minor ailments during pregnancy and its home remedies as per trimester wise was a structured interview questionnaire.
The study indicates that all the primipara mothers did not have 100% knowledge. So, teaching was developed to promote their knowledge and skills, and helps to cope with the minor ailments of pregnancy and its home remedies.
