The health status of pregnant women in industrial areas is something that must be considered in order to produce a superior Indonesian generation. The research design used the "Quasi-experimental pre post design" method. The sample of this study was 51 pregnant women in industrial areas. Treatment is in the form of nutrition education for pregnant women after the mother has confirmed knowledge of knowledge, nutritional behavior and Hb (hemoglobin) levels. The results showed that the knowledge of pregnant women increased 73% after increasing behavior, 78% increased behavior and increased mean Hb from 11.64 to 12.14.
