Abstract

Objective: To analyze educational strategies for the early approach to prenatal care in pregnant women at the "Pugacho" health center in the city of Ibarra - Ecuador. Method: Descriptive observational study. Results: 52% stated that they did not know about culturally adequate childbirth because they were foreign mothers and did not practice it in their culture, while 48% stated that they did know about culturally adequate childbirth because family members or acquaintances practiced it in their pregnancies. Conclusion: Prenatal diagnosis evaluates the need for invasive tests according to the prioritization of the risk of congenital anomalies, that is to say, it is concluded that the pregnant mother who has all the controls can prevent any type of anomalies to her baby and that is the importance of each control.
