The incidence of anemia in pregnant women in 2022 will range between 20%-89%. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in the world is 38.2%. Maternal deaths in developing countries are related to anemia in pregnancy, the cause of which is iron deficiency, which is an important underlying cause of morbidity. The government has long had a program to give pregnant women 90 iron supplements during pregnancy and requires ANC visits at least 6 times during pregnancy.Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of finding out the relationship between regular Antenatal Care (ANC) visits and anemia in pregnant women at the Pendopo Health Center, Empat Lawang Regency.Method: This type of research uses analytical methods and a cross sectional approach. The total sample was 66 pregnant women taken by purposive sampling with chi square test analysis.Results: The results of the study showed that 59.1% of pregnant women had irregular ANC visits, 72.7% of pregnant women did not experience anemia.Conclusion: There is a relationship between the regularity of Antenatal Care (ANC) visits and anemia in pregnant women (p = 0.020).Suggestion: The Community Health Center together with Posyandu cadres should be more active in providing information through holding classes for pregnant women regarding the ANC implementation schedule for pregnant women and the risks of experiencing anemia. Keywords: Anemia in Pregnant Women, Regularity of Antenatal Care (ANC) Visits
