El trabajo se inscribe en el marco de la investigación “Creencias y prácticas populares en torno al embarazo y parto: un enfoque sobre el proceso salud-enfermedad”.Para la misma se utilizó un diseño abierto, exploratorio y descriptivo con un enfoque principalmente cualitativo. Los objetivos del presente trabajo son exponer los principales resultados vinculados a las creencias populares referidas por las usuarias que participaron de la investigación, y proponer la reflexión en torno a estas creencias y su relación con el “saber profesional”.Como conclusiones del presente trabajo se destaca la situación propicia que encontramos en el país respecto a su sistema de salud, inmerso en un proceso de cambio donde habría cabida para la inclusión de la “perspectiva popular”. Sin embargo “saber profano” y “saber experto” no conviven dentro de los marcos de las instituciones de salud.Si bien se observa un nivel de medicalización significativo, el discurso médico-científico permanece ajeno a las usuarias, asimismo, la figura de los profesionales de la salud es fuente de incertidumbre y miedo. Miedo provocado por el desconocimiento de lo que sucede en el pre-parto y parto, así como relacionado al trato por parte del equipo de salud. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
