Abstract

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the importance of prenatal care during the gestational period, as well as to identify the risks, benefits and difficulties of this monitoring in primary care. METHOD: This is an integrative literature review. The bibliographic survey was carried out from February to March 2021, in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Life Sciences Health (LILACS). To operationalize the search, descriptors were used: “Primary health care”; "Prenatal care"; “Obstetric Nursing” and “Pregnant Women”, in Portuguese. RESULTS: Thirteen articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The articles were ordered in two tables in descending order according to the year of publication. From the analysis and synthesis of the articles included, it was possible to delineate two categories: the importance of prenatal care and the health promotion for pregnant women. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is concluded that prenatal care with a qualified health professional can contribute to the reduction of obstetric complications and maternal and child morbidity and mortality. The synthesis of the results also reveals that effective prenatal care is still not carried out in the context of primary care, as there are gaps in primary care.
