description This study assessed the effect of maternal age on satisfaction at each stage of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium, and globally. An observational study was carried out in five hospitals of the Andalusian public health system with older primiparous women, from May 2016 to May 2018. Using a pre-piloted questionnaire, information was collected on pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium, newborn variables and degree of satisfaction with the care received. Crude and adjusted mean differences and the standard error of the mean were calculated. A total of 373 women participated. In total, 43.0% of the sample were very satisfied with the care received during pregnancy, and 74.2% with the care received during childbirth. During the puerperium, the highest percentage (60.4%) was found among the women who reported being quite satisfied, although the results were not significant in any of these stages (p > 0.05). No significant differences were established between women’s different age strata and maternal satisfaction. However, the average given by women regarding their satisfaction with the process, on a scale from 0 to 4, was: 3.5 ± 0.5 in general, 3.2 ± 0.8 regarding pregnancy, 3.7 ± 0.5 in childbirth and 3.1 ± 0.6 in the postpartum period. The woman’s satisfaction with the follow up and health care received during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium is independent of the mother’s age.
