Abstract	Purpose: The study examined safe motherhood practices among women of childbearing age in Nsukka urban area of Enugu State. Design/Methodology/Approach: The descriptive survey research design was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was the self developed questionnaire. The population of the study consisted of all resident childbearing mothers (CBMs) in Nsukka urban area. A sample of 137 CBMs was drawn from selected health centres and hospitals in the urban area. The research questions were answered using percentages while the only postulated hypothesis was verified using chi-square analysis. Findings: The result of the analysed data using the 50 per cent cut off approved by the WHO International standard indicated that nutritional practices (36.4%) was inadequate while immunisation and personal hygiene practices (52.1% and 69.0%) were adequate respectively. The chi-square analysis on the influence of the educational level of CBMs on safe motherhood practices (p<0.5) was accepted. Implication: Results implicate the need for health educators, institutions and other health professional to design better educational strategies to improve health education practices among CBMs in the area of study. Originality/Value: The value of this work resides on the critical recommendations that among other things, seminars and workshops should be organized for CBMs to improve their safe motherhood practices especially in the area of nutrition.
