Hypertension in pregnancy is a major maternal health issue risking complications for both mother and fetus. Warm water foot soak therapy can be applied as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention in maternal nursing care. Objective: To describe blood pressure changes in third-trimester pregnant women with hypertension through the implementation of warm water foot soak therapy. This descriptive case study involved two third-trimester pregnant women with hypertension in South Jakarta. Data collection was conducted over 7 days (March–April 2026) via interviews, observation, and blood pressure monitoring. The self-administered intervention used warm water (37–40°C) for 15–20 minutes, twice daily (morning and evening). Both subjects remained compliant with prescribed medical antihypertensive treatments during the study. After 7 days, a decreasing in blood pressure and subjective symptoms was observed. Subject 1's initial blood pressure (150/95 mmHg) changed to 125/80 mmHg (morning) and 120/80 mmHg (evening) on the final day. Subject 2's initial blood pressure (160/100 mmHg) changed to 130/80 mmHg (morning) and 125/80 mmHg (evening). The warm water foot soak therapy indicates a gradual in lowering blood pressure for both subjects. This complementary therapy can be considered a safe, supportive intervention in maternity nursing care.
