The design used is quasi-experimental. The data analysis used is bivariate analysis with paired t-test. Results: The results of the study show that the anxiety level of pregnant women before education using leaflet media was mostly in the moderate category, with 21 people (88.0%), and after education using leaflet media, there was a change indicated by the score where the low anxiety level increased to 9 people (29%) and the high anxiety level decreased to 3 people (10.0%). The study found a p-value of 0.000 < 0.005. Conclusion: It can be concluded that leaflet media is effective in reducing the anxiety level of pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic
