In Brazil, children and women’s health has been recognized as a priority for some decades. Health actions should focus on the target population living within the area covered by the Basic Health Care Unit, securing the attendance, the treatment, and mainly the evaluation of maternal and child’s health. The knowledge about the characteristics of care delivered, and the quality of the prenatal care contribute to improve the health care delivered to pregnant women. Consequently, it leads to an improvement of the indicators of maternal and child’s health within the area covered by these services. Objective: Identify the characteristics of the health care delivered to pregnant women in a Basic Health Care Unit in the city of São José do Rio Preto. Materials and Methods: This is a documental, retrospective study with a quantitative approach. Data collection was performed by reviewing the prenatal follow-up records. The study sample was composed of 20% of the total quantity of pregnant women with the probability of giving birth between January and December 2013. Results: The results showed that the pregnant women’s predominant age group ranged from 21 to 30 years (64.5%). With regard to the number of previous pregnancies, 33.8% of the women were in the second gestation; 29% were primigravidae, and 14.5% presented more than three pregnancies. In relation to indicators of prenatal care delivered to the pregnant women at the Basic Health Care Unit, 75.8% of the women had more than 6 prenatal visits; 16.1% had 6 prenatal visits, and 6.4% had less than 6 prenatal visits. Regarding gestational age, data showed that all the women (100%) had their first prenatal visit at the first trimester of pregnancy. Of them, 79% have already had a C-section, and 20.9% had vaginal delivery; 96.7% attended to a postnatal care visit. Conclusion: We concluded that a prenatal care of better quality is a major contributing factor to reduce the levels of morbidity and mortality among pregnant women. It facilitates the orientations of complications in their puerperal pregnancy cycle and the prevention of complications. Descriptors: Pregnant Woman; Women’s Health; Quality of Health Care.
