Gesta？？o na adolescência: descri？？o e análise da assistência recebida

this work is aimed at describing and analyzing prenatal care to teenage women through the brazilian prenatal and birth humanization program (bpbhp). it's a descriptive quantitative study conducted between march and july 2009 based on a form and interview with 200 teenage women during the postpartum period, in a maternity ward of sistema único de saúde (brazilian unified health system), which is considered a reference in obstetric care . the young women received prenatal care through the public service (96.4%) which began during the first trimester (47.4%), they didn't have the minimum medical appointments required (52.6%), took iron supplements (96.9%), received tetanus immunization (80.5%) and didn't have enough orientation (46.0%). the laboratory tests were performed during their first medical appointment (80.0%), but only a third were repeated in the third trimester. therefore, the bpbhp doesn't meet all the standards set by the ministério da saúde (ministry of health), and there are improvements to be made in the early service phase, ongoing care, demand for second exam samples and availability of orientation.
