Data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkes) in 2015 showed that of 100,000 live births in Indonesia, 305 of them ended in the death of the mother. The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) – 305/100,000 live births – prompted the government to carry out structural interventions; one of them is to include the target for reducing the MMR in the 2014-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). In the 2014-2019 RPJMN, the government targets a reduction in the MMR from 205/100,000 births to 276/100,000 live births. This study was to analyze the relationship between maternal age, education, and occupation with mother's knowledge of the danger signs of pregnancy at the Pelambuan Health Center.

Results: Based on the results of the study, it is known that respondents with age at risk ( 35 years) are 26 respondents (80%). This number is more when compared to respondents who have a non-risk age (20-35 years) as many as 4 respondents (20%). The relationship between parity and knowledge of pregnant women about the danger signs of pregnancy showed that the respondents with the age at risk ( 35 years) were 52 respondents (80%).
