The sample amounted to 32 pregnant woman divided intervention and control group. In the intervention group, antenatal care was given and dried tomatoes at a dose of 55 grams for 14 days and patients in the control group were given antenatal care only. Measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were carried out every day as long as research. Results The analysis showed significant differences in systolic blood pressure between the intervention and control group with p value 0,001 and diastolic p value 0,001. In the intervention group experienced a decrease in systolic of 16,812 mmHg and diastolic 17,062 mmHg. There was a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure on day 5 with a value 0,000.
