Preeclampsia is a health problem that is often found in pregnant mothers. Indonesia has 76.000 women and 500.000 infant deaths caused by preeclampsia every year. Based on an interview with a nurse clinic in Tondano Minahasa Regency, 25 of 50 women during pregnancy have preeclampsia. This study aimed to find the knowledge level of pregnant mothers about preeclampsia at a Clinic in Tondano Minahasa Regency. This study used a descriptive quantitative method with a univariate data analysis technique. The sample of this study is 50 pregnant women willing to be respondents and registered at Clinic in Tondano Minahasa Regency with accidental sampling as the sampling method.
