Background:

an appropriate control and handling of the pre-conception risk allows determining the state of each woman's health, making possible to assume a pregnancy with better results for the binomial by means of the control of the risk factors.

Objective:

to characterize the behavior of the reproductive pre-conception risk.

Methods:

an observational, descriptive and traverse study was the carried out in the family doctor's and nurse offices of the Pedro Borrás Astorga Policlinic in Pinar del Río in 2019. The universe was constituted by 4772 women in fertile age. The descriptive statistic was used and the results were reflected in charts.

Results:

848 women were identified with reproductive pre-conception risk, a great number of women present non-transmissible chronic illnesses and some have more than one illness. The malnutrition prevailed as much for defect as for excess, the arterial hypertension and the bronchial asthma and as obstetric antecedents, the induced miscarriages, the short birth intervals and the hypertension induced by the pregnancy, the anemia’s and the previous preterm children and/or low-birth-weight babies. A high percent is controlled with some difficulties with the adolescents.

Conclusions:

the reproductive pre-conception risk is still a problem without solving since there was a number of the woman that they were not controlled. The appropriate control of the couples with pre-conception risk and its responsibility in the planning of a pregnancy contributes the improvement of the quality of mothers' and children's life.
