The difference seen from the result by Risk Ratio ( RR ), while the significance of the result seen by the value of p ( p < 0,05 ).

Results: Analysis of Chi-Square test showed a statistically significant relationship between anemia and the prevalence of uterine inertia. The result obtained from the analysis was p = 0,001( p < 0,05 ).

Conclusions: There is statistically significant relatonship between maternal anemia with prevalence of uterine inertia in Moewardi hospital during period the first of January 2012 the thirtith of May 2012 .
