Objectives: to characterize a group of pregnant women about pregnancy care, focusing on the promotion of the child development, and identify the importance attributed to the insertion of such care as issues of prenatal consultations. Method: quantitative, descriptive and exploratory, performed in a public Health Unit (in Portuguese, Unidade Básica de Saúde UBS), at the East Zone of the city São Paulo. The study included 96 pregnant women randomly selected among those enrolled at the UBS. The information collection occurred through interviews with instrument based on the Formulary of attendance of the child health promotion care (in Portuguese, Ficha de acompanhamento dos cuidados para a promoção da saúde da criança) with a number of women answering additional open questions, and justifying their answers. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the material by absolute and relative frequencies. The answers to open questions were submitted to thematic analysis by the contents, obtaining empirical categories. Results: patients were between 18 and 42 years old, most under 25, 66.7% had completed high school and 30.2% had only primary education, 57.3% were not waged, 56.2% lived with a partner. In respect to reproductive traits, 45.8% were in the first pregnancy, being four the largest number of living children and seven the largest number of pregnancies. About the prenatal permanence, it did not happen in previous pregnancies (4.2%) and current (1%), 49% participated in educational activities about the pregnancy and 20.8% about child development. For the matter of pregnancy care, positive answers were below 70% for the following topics: unplanned pregnancy; avoid overexertion; considered severe headache and swelling as a risk. Between 70 and 85% of participants responded positively with regard to feeding, vaccinations and avoid contact with dangerous substances. The following items had positive responses in more than 85% of cases: permanence in prenatal consultations, parent involvement during pregnancy, to follow treatment guidelines of the health team; prevent falls, accidents, to avoid smoking, X ray exams, alcohol intake, nonprescription drugs, to identify loss of fluid, vaginal bleeding and stop the baby\ s movements as signs of risk. As regards the importance attributed to the insertion of each topic in the pre-natal consultations, only the item \"Does the patient feel supported by the family?\" resulted in less than 70% of positive responses. With values between 70 and 85% were: avoiding falls, accidents and contact with dangerous substances; to consider severe headache and swelling as signs of risk for pregnancy, and avoid radiological examinations. Over 85% of respondents agreed on the importance of including these questions in the consultation. The most favorable reasons to question the issues of care in the consultations considered the need of information for the professional, to guide their conduct and care. For the matter of negative responses, were justified by the inability of the professional work, and also the experience reported by pregnant women who have never been approached on the subject in health consultations. Conclusion: Although most of the women claim to make the necessary care to health promotion and fetus development, some low rates of positive responses indicate situations that require greater attention from health care in prenatal care, especially for pregnant women who cannot ensure all the necessary precautions.
