The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between mother's knowledge and parity towards third trimester pregnancy visits at BPM Emilia, AM.Keb, Pali District. The study used an analytic survey method with a cross sectional approach. The population in the study were all pregnant women who checked their pregnancies at BPM Emilia, AM.Keb, Pali district. The accidental sampling technique consisted of 30 respondents. The results of the study were 20 pregnant women who visited ≥ 4 antenatal care visits (66.7%) more than 10 respondents who had <4 pregnancy visits (33%), 26 pregnant women who had good knowledge (86.7%), more than pregnant women who had less knowledge, 4 people (13.3%), and pregnant women with high parity, 7 people (23%), less than pregnant women with low parity, totaling 23 people ( 76.3 %). The results of the Chi-Square test showed that there was no significant relationship between knowledge of visits to pregnant women where the value of p_value = 0.095 > α (0.05) and the results of the Chi-Square test showed that there was no significant relationship between parity and visits of pregnant women where the value of p_value = 0.571 > α (0.05).
