Pregnancy compliance with antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for preventing pregnancy complications and ensuring the health of both mother and fetus. Knowledge of pregnancy danger signs is a key factor influencing ANC compliance. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and ANC compliance. The study used a cross-sectional study design, with a sample of 100 pregnant women visiting the Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) and Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in District X, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire regarding knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and ANC visit records. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test to determine the relationship between variables. The results showed that pregnant women with good knowledge had higher ANC compliance than those with poor knowledge (p = 0.001; OR = 3.5). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and ANC compliance. Antenatal education and counseling efforts are essential to improve maternal compliance.
