Traditional medicine such as herbal medicine is still widely consumed by the community, including pregnant women. Herbal medicine is considered natural and safe, but consumption without adequate knowledge can have a negative impact on pregnancy. This study aims to determine the negative impact of consuming herbal medicine on the knowledge of pregnant women. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 50 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. The results show that the majority of pregnant women have a low level of knowledge regarding the risks of herbal medicine on pregnancy and most consume herbal medicine without medical consultation. Conclusion: low knowledge has an impact on pregnant women's decisions in consuming herbal medicine, so health education is very necessary.
