From the research results on Pregnant Women's Knowledge about High Risk Pregnancies Based on Demographic Characteristics, it can be discussed that mothers' knowledge about high risk pregnancies is still lacking. This can be related to the education of pregnant women which is still relatively low. The husband's knowledge about high-risk pregnancies is very much needed because knowledge about high-risk pregnancies is very important for forming the mother's attitude in understanding the risks that will arise in pregnancy.
