This study arises from the will to know the aspects related to births in Albania, focusing mainly on three stages: pregnancy, birth and postpartum. The random sample of this pilot study consisted of 50 women. Among the most important results of the study we can identify: the use of folic acid begins mainly during the early pregnancy process; the number of ultrasounds scans remains high for women of any age or level of education; natural births are more common to any group of age or level of education and monitoring of breastfeeding is generally adequate. Exception is for the group of women with middle class degree which demonstrated lower results to this variable.
