Objective: To describe the experience of quilombola women in prenatal care.
Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Twenty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with quilombola women in three communities within the municipality of Abaetetuba, state of Pará, Brazil, during April 2024. The data was transcribed in full, and content analysis was carried out.
Results: The experience of pregnant women was marked by the lack of information received during prenatal care, with guidance concentrated mainly on lectures and pregnant women's groups. This information is often supplemented informally by the women's support network.
Conclusion: This paper describes the experience of quilombola women in prenatal care, which reveals significant gaps in information. The work of health education is a priority for change in prenatal care, with the aim of guaranteeing guidance for pregnant women and, in this way, promoting better maternal care.
