    AbstractContinuity of care during pregnancy was examined in a family practice residency setting. The effect of provider continuity on the rate of pregnancy complications and patient satisfaction was studied prospectively in a sample of 61 patients. Patients in this study placed relatively low value on continuity of care. Pregnancy complications were predicted by traditional prenatal risk factors. Perceived waiting time in the office had the greatest effect on patient satisfaction. Provider continuity had no significant effect on either outcome.
