Low birth weight is considered a multifactorial public health problem with consequences such as neonatal morbidity and mortality, deficiencies in cognitive development and increased risk of developing chronic diseases in later stages of life.

Objective:

To interpret the meanings of the experiences in pregnancy care of women with low birth weight babies at term, which allow the identification of health, socioeconomic and emotional aspects, among others, that are relevant during pregnancy, and that can be characterized and included in the framework of binding public policies in Sincelejo, Sucre.

Method:

Phenomenology applied to eight mothers of low-birth-weight babies at term. The information was processed with the Colaizzi method.

Results:

Five macro-categories were derived: 1) Care and self-care during pregnancy; 2) Health in motion during pregnancy care 3) Change as a permanent experience in pregnancy 4) Economy and gestation 5) Emotionality inhabiting gestation.

Conclusions:

The study addresses birth, contextual, social and family related factors. This study became a path towards knowledge carried out by pregnant women, which is very useful for public policies.
