The incidence of anemia in pregnancy is a condition of pregnant women with hemoglobin (Hb) levels 11 g/dL in the first and third trimesters, meanwhile in the second trimester Hb levels 10.5 g/dL. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the work area of Puskesmas Tampaksiring I. The research method used a descriptive type of research conducted in January-May 2022 with a total of 38 respondents obtained by random sampling technique. Hemoglobin levels were measured by the Point Of Care Testing (POCT) method.

Low hemoglobin levels were mostly found in pregnant women who were in the range of 18-25 years, with less knowledge and were in a risky gestational age (Trimester I and III) and did not comply in taking blood-boosting tablets (TTD).
