Abstract
Preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia and in the world. The exact cause of preeclampsia is not known at this time. Aerobic exercise as an effort to prevent preeclampsia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on maternal outcome in primigravidas with a history of hypertension.
 
 This research was a quasy experimental research with pre and post control group. Aerobic exercise was carried out for 15 weeks in the second trimester of pregnancy, then blood pressure measurements were taken in both groups. The data will be analyzed using the t-test, and a p value <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
 
 Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lower in the intervention group than in the control group but not statistically significant, all samples became superimposed preeclampsia and underwent delivery by caesarean section.

Summary
Preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia and in the world. The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia according to the 2012 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) was 359 per 100,000 live births. The main causes that contributed to the maternal mortality rate were bleeding as much as 32%, hypertension in pregnancy of 25%, infection 5%, prolonged labor 5%, other causes 1%. Preeclampsia, which is one of the hypertension disorders, occurs in 3% to 4% of pregnancies and contributes to perinatal morbidity and mortality. The health benefits of daily physical activity, such as a reduced risk of essential hypertension, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes are well documented, it is known less about the relationship between maternal physical activity and risk of hypertension, pregnancy disorders (Sorensen, 2003)
