Abstract Objective: To determine the factors of capacity related to the use of appropriate prenatal control in pregnant women in Sincelejo, Colombia in 2014.

Regarding reasons to attend prenatal control, 83,9 % (598) said they went to detect alterations and 14,6 % (104) following somenone else´s recommendations. 17 women did not attend to control and cited as reasons: too much paper work 47,1%(8), have missed the appointment 23,5 % (4), believe not needing control because they had delivered babies with no problem 23,5 %(4) and believe it is too early to start control (5,9 % (1).
