Aixi doncs, la finalitat es aportar elements que ajudin a trobar respostes. Que obrin finestres de comprensio a la questio que encapcala aquest article: “Estas de siete meses y... ?vienes ahora?”. Abstract: This article aims to highlight some of the social and cultural factors that may influence the sexual and reproductive health of the Romanian gypsy population whohave settled in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. It is based on ethnographic research carried out with two Rrom groups who arrived from different areas in Romania. Thanks to the knowledge acquired from different situations -mainly in domestic units and taking pregnant women to the health centres-, we mean to develop a more comprehensive and respectful approach, not only to remove the negative prejudice -that may often take place in different health centres- against this group, but also to consider the Rrom's own mentality regarding certain processes like the time of pregnancy or their medication. Therefore, our purpose is to offer guidance and advice that could open paths of understanding in the main issue of this article: "Seven-month pregnant ...and is this your first visit?".
