		abstract={During pregnancy the mother will experience several changes in the body such as physical
changes, psychological changes and changes in anatomy and physiology. Constipation is one
of the physical changes and discomfort complained of by third trimester pregnant women,
constipation in pregnancy is caused by the increase in the hormone progestreron so that the
muscles become relaxed, one of which is in the muscles of the digestive tract, constipation also
occurs because as the fetus develops, the uterus will enlarge so that it puts pressure on the
colon and inhibits the evacuation of feces and reduces intestinal motality, in pregnancy 10-
40% of pregnant women have experienced constipation, and as many as 21.8% in the third
trimester. The purpose of this writing is to understand and apply the administration of carica
papaya to constipation in third trimester pregnant women in the area of Kp. Cipetir, Sukamaju
Village, Kadudampit District, Sukabumi Regency. The data collection method used in the
preparation of this Scientific Paper is by direct observation to the field, interviews, and
literature studies obtained from journals, books, and the internet related to the application of
carica papaya administration to constipation in third trimester pregnant women. The author
applies the administration of carica papaya for 3 consecutive days and the results obtained
