Abstract

The prenatal booklet was created in Brazil in 1988, with the purpose to store information, facilitating the communication among professionals who performed the prenatal care and those who made childbirth in maternity wards (LEAL et al, 2012). With the goal to qualify prenatal care, the Technical Area of Women’s Health elaborated the pregnant woman’s book, which has included in addition to information about the pregnancy, important subjects for the knowledge of the pregnant woman, and in the year of 2014 it started to be distributed to the counties; it is a fundamental instrument for recording information of the pregnancy monitoring and must be an important part of the work process in SUS, through their use in all the prenatal visits. Through a methodological approach called workshop of knowledge, it happened in the health units and maternity wards, meetings to spread pregnant woman’s book and to guide its correct completion. The workshop of knowledge generated a great resource for the elaboration of improvements to the prenatal care in the municipality of ParauapebasPa, already that the teams reported difficulties found in their day-to-day.
