Abstract

Prenatal care is essential due to the significant physiological and socio-emotional changes experienced during this period. Aim: To understand how women perceive health care during prenatal care. Method: qualitative study with data collection carried out between October 2021 and May 2022. 24 semi-structured interviews were conducted in four units of Regional Health IV, in Fortaleza, Ceará. Thematic analysis was carried out. The data were analyzed based on Ricardo Ayres' theoretical framework, focusing on the theme “health care” and within this theme, two analytical categories were worked on: “technical care”, “care as a bond”. Results: the provision of care focused on technical procedures was valued by women. A significant aspect that did not receive attention was the construction of strong bonds focused on social and emotional aspects. Conclusion: fragility in the dialogical relationship between health providers and women, indicating that health services still prioritize the biomedical model.
