Objective: to understand how pregnant women who use psychoactive substances perceive the care provided by health professionals during prenatal care within a Family Health Strategy unit. Method: this is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study conducted with pregnant women who use psychoactive substances, and were attended at a Family Health Strategy unit. Data were collected between August and November 2022 through open interviews and subjected to thematic content analysis. The research protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: among 20 pregnant women aged 20 to 41 years, who reported having children and using multiple drugs such as tobacco, cocaine, crack, marijuana, and alcohol, three thematic categories were defined: "Here comes another one!"; "Establishing a subject-object order"; and "(Dis)Satisfaction with the Care Received”. Final Considerations: in the perception of pregnant women who use psychoactive substances, prenatal care is impersonal, punctual, and top-down. Health professionals demonstrate a lack of knowledge and preparedness in assisting these women.
