Abstract

This study aimed to check pregnant women’s satisfaction with the pre-natal check-ups offered in a basic health network in a missionary town in the north-east of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Ten mothers-to-be under pre-natal supervision at a town center for pregnancy care participated in the research, which had a qualitative approach and a descriptive character. The data was collected through interviews and analyzed through content analysis. In this research it was possible to notice that the pregnant women valued the dialog and guidance, which makes it possible to understand the meaning of the pre-natal check-up. Strengthening communication with the mothers-to-be in this period can favor the building of the relationship and the quality of nursing care.
