Preeclampsia (PE) causes morbidity and mortality in several women in the productive phase, including definitive sequels. Recognizing the socio-demographic profile of pregnant women may justify the allocation of resources to promote an effective care for this population. To describe the socio-demographic profile of pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia. Retrospective study of medical records of 98 patients. Place: Hospital Guilherme Álvaro Santos/ Brazil, (from May 2017 to April 2018). Variables analyzed: Previous history of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and preeclampsia, first-degree relative with SAH, recreational drug use, cohabitation with the partner, pre-eclampsia, employment status, years of schooling, average number of pregnancies and body mass index (BMI). For all the information in the sample, a description of the data was made through numerical means and descriptive measures of variables with the intention of searching for clues about the behavior of the phenomena studied. The study has ethical approval. We identified that 53.1% had previous SAH; 29% reported a history of preeclampsia; 83% had first-degree relative with SAH; 19% used recreational drugs; 32% lived with partner; 38% were unemployed. How many means: the time of schooling was of 10,23 years; that of pregnancies of 2.27 previous; and the BMI of 31.93 (obesity). These data suggest that it is necessary to create strategies for reproductive planning access for this population because several women were in the third gestation and advised of the risks identified in their own history as relatives with SAH. Avoiding additional complications due to drug use, especially among obese women, hypertensive and with a history of pre-eclampsia and that these guidelines need to be reinforced also by low education. These aspects can be recognized by the anamnesis itself, which can optimize resources and optimize financial resources.
