The Birth Waiting House is one of the local government programs that aims to reduce maternal mortality. However, in reality, there are still many people who do not take advantage of this facility. This study aims to analyze the factors related to the utilization of the Birth Waiting Home by mothers giving birth in the working area of the North Gunungsitoli Public Health Center in 2021. The type of research is an explanatory survey with a cross sectional approach. The data collection tool uses a questionnaire. The data analysis method used was chi square and multiple logistic regression at the 95% confidence level. The results showed that only 21.25% of the respondents used the birth waiting house. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between family support and the use of waiting homes for births by mothers with a p value of 0.000 (<0.005). Variables Parity, knowledge, attitude, mileage, health insurance and maternal health conditions are not related to the use of the waiting house by the mother. While the results of the multivariate analysis showed that there were three variables that were significantly related to the use of the birth waiting house by maternity mothers, namely the parity variable, family support and health insurance. And the most dominant variable is parity with a p value of 0.013 and an Exp (B) value of 10.405. It is hoped that every puskesmas should promote the "SIGA" husband/family program through counseling,
