According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is still very high, around 810 women die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth worldwide every day, and around 295,000 women die during and after pregnancy and childbirth. Efforts to accelerate the reduction of the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) are carried out by ensuring that every mother is able to access quality maternal health services. The low number of pregnant women who do can be influenced by several factors. The factors that influence pregnant women to perform antenatal care are knowledge, attitudes, parity, economy, socio-culture, education and husband's support. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge, education and husband's support with antenatal care at the Keramasan Health Center Palembang in 2021.
