A cross-sectional descriptive institutional based study was conducted among pregnant women admitted to Sudanese family planning association, El-Fateh El-Nour clinic in El-Obeid city, North Kordofan state during dry season from 25 April – 25 June 2021. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of malaria disease and factors associated with repeated malaria among pregnant women. The study covered 384 of pregnant women attending the clinic during study period who had one or more indications for malaria diagnosis. Data was collected using self-administrative questionnaire and microscopic blood test for malaria. Simple random sampling technique was used. Data analyzed and processed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version (23.0) and Microsoft Excel (2010) software. Total of (384) pregnant women were selected. More than two third (73.7%) of pregnant women from urban area and (26.3%) from rural area. About (4.9%) of pregnant women fall in the less than 18 years, (43.2%) of them fall in the 18 - 25 years age group, (44%) in the 25 – 35 years age group and (7.8%) were more than 35 years old. Malaria prevalence was (32%). All samples collected from pregnant women showed that Plasmodium falciparum is predominant species. There was highly statistically significant between malaria prevalence and age group (P-value= 0.000, X2= 1.982). There was highly statistically significant between malaria prevalence and gestational age of pregnancy (P-value= 0.000, X2= 3.046). There was highly statistically significant between the malaria prevalence and education (P-value= 0.000, X2= 2.350).
