Pregnant women may have health problems that often require the use of medicines. Thus, studies on drug use during pregnancy are relevant with regard to the potential risks that drugs can pose to the developing fetus. Therefore, the objective of this study was to delineate the socio-economic status of pregnant women receiving prenatal care from Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the town of Picos, State of Piaui, Brazil, as well as to detect major health problems and their main diagnostic hypotheses. Moreover, a survey was conducted to determine the most prescribed drugs and those most used in self-medication. The study was carried out in an exploratory descriptive quantitative approach, employing direct observation technique by prospective analysis of records from the care provided to pregnant women attended by antenatal service from Picos’ FHS. Out of 40 patients interviewed, 52% were aged 21-30 years, 55% were brown-skinned (self-reported color of skin), and 55% were married. Furthermore, 33% had graduated from high school and 62% earned a monthly family income of 1-2 times the minimum wages. The main health-related problem was dependence on caffeine and the most likely diagnostic hypothesis was gastritis. Among the patients who had used medications by prescription, 34% took folic acid regularly. Regarding self-medication, paracetamol was the most used drug (36%). According to the study, the profile of pregnant women in the antenatal care from FHS in Picos is young, brown-skinned women, married, with low family income and high school education. Eighty nine percent of the women interviewed use prescribed drugs and 11% of them reported to use non-prescribed medicines.
