This is a descriptive, cross sectional study case, done in a Family Health Unit in the outskirts of São Bernardo do Campo. 42 women were evaluated using WHOQOLbref. The higher the score the better the assessment of Quality of Life. The scores of the domains were: Physical 57,65; Psychological 68,75; Environment 59,75; Social Relations 77,98; General 75,00. Each domain consists of a few facets, and these contributed positively or negatively t the score of the domains. The worst facets evaluated were: Energy and Fatigue; Thinking, Learning, Memory and Concentration; Financial Resources; and Sexual Activity. The best aspects evaluated were: Mobility; Positive Feelings, Body Image and Appearance; Health and Social Care; and Personal Relationships. We concluded that WHOQOL-bref is relevant as a monitoring instrument and it is, for the expansion of prenatal care and the evaluation of quality of life during prenatal care, an important tool for an integral assistence and pregnant woman's health promotion.
