The aim of this paper is to analyse knowledge, opinions and attitudes of doctors, delivering prenatal care, about work and pregnancy. A postal survey was carried out in 1989 among all obstetricians and gynecologists and among a random sample of general practitioners in two French departments: Val-de-Marne and Aube. Response rate was 78% and the sample analysis included 367 respondents. Doctors' knowledge about occupational risks for pregnancy, social regulations and their attitudes about sick leave certifications are described. They are different depending on the specialty--GP or obstetricians--, the geographical department, gender and age of the doctors.
