This number shows an increase compared to 2020 of 4,627. Pregnancy danger signs are signs that indicate dangers that may occur during pregnancy or the antenatal period, which if not reported or detected could lead to maternal death. Pregnant women need good knowledge about danger signs in pregnancy. If pregnant women know about the danger signs in pregnancy, mothers can plan their pregnancy well and immediately go to a health worker if it is a high-risk pregnancy. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between primigravida pregnant women's knowledge about the danger signs of pregnancy in the working area of the Pratama Afiyah Pekanbaru clinic in 2023.
