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.

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:
