Descriptive study highlights how autonomous obstetric nurses improve prenatal care, suggesting a need for professional recognition.
Objective: Understand the construction of the prenatal by autonomous obstetric nurses, considering their experiences, challenges and professional learning. Method: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, in which participated seven autonomous obstetric nurses from different regions of Brazil, with at least one year of practice. Data collection took place in September 2024, followed by transcription and analysis of the interviews in November 2024. The data, obtained through online interviews, were transcribed and interpreted through content analysis. Results: It was observed that the follow-up provided by obstetric nurses prioritizes the woman, values her individuality, transmits information effectively and positively impacts pregnancy, with evidence-based behaviors. Conclusion: This study contributes to the legitimate struggle for the valuation of the professionals in question, by recognizing experiences that show significant results in relation to the prenatal care performed effectively.
