Introduction: amniotic fluid plays an important role in fetal growth and development. Alterations in its volume can directly interfere with fetal development causing structural abnormalities such as pulmonary hypoplasia, they can be an indirect sign of a neural tube defect or gastrointestinal abnormalities or a fetal disorder such as hypoxia.

Objective: to evaluate the results of the application of an educational pamphlet in pregnant women carrying alterations of the amniotic fluid, during the period from July to December 2017.

Method: an educational intervention study was carried out at the "Fe del Valle Ramos" Gyneco-Obstetric Provincial Hospital of the municipality of Manzanillo.

The associated disease that most affected was the RPM being more frequent in multiparous patients, after birth, those who prevailed were born with a weight greater than 4000 grams. Before applying the educational brochure, a low level of knowledge was shown, increasing it after applying the program.
