Accompanying the development of the baby during the nine long months of gestation is wonderful, no invention of the human being, however complete and evolved, comes to the feet of the magic that is the encounter of two cells in an environment conducive to forming a new being complete , ready to cry and suck. This study aims to describe a quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study on prenatal care and the care a woman should have during pregnancy. The analysis of the results presented here corresponds to the survey of 121 pregnant women between the years 2015 to 2016 in the PSF "X". It also aims to identify the socioeconomic and demographic profile of the pregnant women attending the USF. Assistance to pregnant women requires full attention from health professionals and those who develop public health policies. Of the 121 pregnant women evaluated, 28% of these pregnant women were adolescents up to 20 years of age. Among the 34 pregnant women under 20 years of age, 13 pregnant women were less than 16 years old, considered at risk by the Ministry of Health. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire. In the analysis of the data, it was verified that 100% of the nurses affirm that the newborns feel pain, being evaluated by means of physiological, behavioral and emotional alterations, but only 7% affirm to make use of multidimensional scales. Prenatal care is the care given to the woman from the moment she becomes pregnant, in which the doctor seeks to diagnose and treat preexisting diseases, to make an early diagnosis of any change in both the mother and the fetus so that within of today's possibilities can be corrected.
