Summary

Pregnant women who live in rural area have fewer prenatal consultations. It has been demonstrated that maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality increase if time travel to a maternity ward is longer than 30 min.

Home visitation in isolated area may improve prenatal follow-up as it gives full access to women to health care professionals as well as biological and ultrasound exams without travelling.

Our aim is to assess the impact of home visitation on prenatal follow-up as compared to prenatal follow-up in maternity ward and in primary care.

Isolated areas will be randomized, for women living in areas included in the intervention group, home visitations will be planned for prenatal follow-up. Ultrasound screening as well as blood exams will be performed during home visitations. For women living in control areas, they will be free to choose prenatal follow-up modalities.
