Results: The results showed that out of 41 pregnant women, 29 pregnant women had a good level of knowledge (70.7%), 10 pregnant women had a sufficient level of expertise (24.4%), and 2 pregnant women had a low level of knowledge (4.9%). Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test (p-value 0.023).

Conclusion: There was a statistically significant relationship between pregnant women's knowledge level about the danger signs of pregnancy in the third trimester and the regularity of ANC examination (p < 0.05).
