Results: The sample consisted of 117 women; mean age was 29.38 ±5,015 (18-37) years. Of these, 51.28% of pregnant women attended three or more sessions on maternal education; of the 24 components of prenatal care, 19 had been met in more than 80% of the women treated. The 51.28% of the women were quite satisfied with the prenatal care received. For 74.36% of the sample, the most valued professional involved in antenatal care is the midwife.
Conclusion: Pregnancy care is adequate, although issues such as maternal education should be encouraged by professionals. The user is satisfied with the current care system and values positively the professionals who deliver the care, especially the midwife.
