Also, 53.8% of the studied women had unhealthy behavior while 46.2% of the studied women had healthy behavior. Additionally, there was a highly significant positive correlation between the total knowledge of the studied women about pre-eclampsia and their total healthy behavior at (P= < 0.01). Conclusion: More than two-thirds of the study subjects had incorrect total knowledge about pre-eclampsia and one-third of them had correct total knowledge about pre-eclampsia. Additionally, the present study results depicted that more than half of the studied women had unhealthy behavior and less than half of them had healthy behavior.
