Data analysis was conducted in stages included univariate, bivariate (chi-squared test) and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis. Results: The results of bivariate analysis indicated there was significant association between knowledge (p=0.002), attitude (p=0.012), behavior (p=0.030), and family support (p=0.015) with the ANC in pregnant women.
