Abstract This study aims to assess the association between the socio-demographic profile and access to prenatal of puerperae who gave birth in a public hospital in the countryside of São Paulo. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, conducted with 261 puerperae, in the second half of 2016, of which 99,6% had access to prenatal, 87,3% initiated care during the first trimester of pregnancy and 91,9% underwent six or more medical consultations. Women without work had less access to prenatal checkups. The participation in health education activities appeared only on 18% of the participants. Access to prenatal is heading to universalization, in the aspects related with early identification and the number of consultations. Inequalities in the access of specific groups can still be observed, requiring effective strategies for their inclusion.
