The scoping review stages include identifying research questions, searching for relevant research, selecting and choosing literature, extracting data, as well as compiling a synthesis and drawing conclusions. The article search used the keywords "Baduy AND health AND maternal OR mother AND pregnancy AND childbirth OR delivery AND postpartum". Baduy mothers check their pregnancy to paraji and get abdominal massage. They wear cutter (small knife) and needle amulet. Food restrictions are chili sauce, durian, petai, pineapple, hot cai, and peanuts. Childbirth takes place in home, without light, and not sterile. Mothers are forbidden to eating and drinking while waiting for the paraji. After that, they bath in the river and get abdominal massage. Postpartum blood is cleaned using cloth they worn.
