Method: The Institutional base cross sectional study design was carried out from November to December, 2017. A total of 367 pregnant women were selected by simple random sampling method. Women were interview by using questionnaire and 3-4 ml blood samples was drawn. Data was entered using Epi info version7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression model was used to see the determinants of anemia. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 32.2% (118/367. Birth spacing less than two years (AOR=7.143, 95%CI(1.158-9.456)), take iron supplementation (AOR=.091 , 95% CI (.027-.303)), history of excessive menstrual bleeding (AOR=3.381, 95% CI (2.415-10.859)), consistence use bed (AOR=.061, 95% CI (.055-.471)), meal frequency twice or less per day (AOR=4.121(4.261-12.525)) and drink coffee always after meal (AOR=1.232(1.162-8.354))were factors significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion: The prevalence of anemia was 32.2%. Anemia was signifcatly associated with birth spacing ,meal frequncey and take iron supplimenion.
