Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results of univariate analysis show that more than some mothers have a risky age during pregnancy, more than some mothers have a history of hypertension, almost as much as with less knowledge, and more than some mothers experience hypertension during pregnancy. According to the results of bivariate analysis, there is a relationship between age and hypertension in pregnancy (p = 0.034), there is a family history of hypertension with hypertension in pregnancy (p = 0.017), and there is a relationship between knowledge and hypertension in pregnancy (p = 0.009).
