In general, the steps for Community Service activities can be divided into three stages, namely needs analysis, activity implementation, and evaluation. The results of this community service activity are that mothers can understand the importance of financial planning for the family. It is important to manage family finances, especially for pregnant women, so that nutritional needs are met in order to prevent stunting for pregnant women and babies born. Several ways that can be used to manage finances for the needs of pregnant women include detailing every need for food and drinks that are nutritious but affordable with the money they have. By providing nutritious food and drinks for pregnant women, it is hoped that the growth of the fetus in the womb will also provide adequate nutritional intake, thereby preventing stunting.
