Pregnancy is a crucial time for both the mother's and the fetus's health, so it is essential to conduct routine and comprehensive antenatal care examinations starting from K1-K4 in order to prevent something that endangers the mother's and fetus's health. The aim of this study is to find the determinant factor of the low number of K4 Antenatal Carevisits in pregnant women at the Weliman Health Center. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted at the Weliman Health Center, with a total sample size of 64 respondents. The probability sampling technique was used, and the data was analyzed using the chi square test and multiple logistic regressions. The bivariate analysis test findings revealed that knowledge (p = 0.006), husband's support (p = 0.008), and age (p = 0.377) had a strong association with the low number of K4 Antenatal Care visits in pregnant women. The knowledge and support of the husband is a determinant factor in the low number of K4 Antenatal Care visits at the Weliman Health Center in Malaka Regency. As a result, especially midwives should increase pregnant women's awareness of antenatal care through counselling activities and the forming of classes for pregnant women, as well as family coaching with communication, information, and education.
