The COVID-19 pandemic has affected ANC services. During the new adaptation period, pregnant women are recommended to continue carrying out ANC unless the mother is suspected of having confirmed Covid-19. Research Objectives: To determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about health protocols with compliance with ANC visits during the Covid-19 period at the Ngombol Health Center. Research Methods: This type of research is observational with a cross sectional approach. This research was conducted in April-May 2022. The population in this study were pregnant women at the Ngombol Public Health Center, Purworejo with a sample of 51 respondents. In this study, the Chi-square test was used to determine whether there was a relationship between the mother’s level of knowledge and adherence to ANC visits during the Covid-19 period. Research results: The level of knowledge of pregnant women about health protocols during the covid-19 period was mostly in the good category, while the level of adherence to ANC visits by pregnant women during the covid-19 period was in the non-adherent group. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about health protocols and adherence to ANC visits. The results of the chi square test obtained p = 0.003.
