Resumo: Introduction: A woman in the gestational period goes through several physical, psychological and hormonal changes. These changes associated with carelessness with oral health can generate several changes in the mother's oral cavity and impact the baby's health in the future. Review: Pregnant women are more susceptible to oral health problems (dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth erosion and granuloma), due to changes in diet, reduced salivary secretion, inadequate oral hygiene practices, frequent nausea and high hormone levels. Discussion: Pregnant women hardly seek dental care during the gestational period, due to fear, misinformation and anxiety about the procedures, in addition, the insecurity and failures regarding the guidance by dentists and doctors about care during pregnancy can collaborate even more to the aggravation of the problem. Final considerations: The most favorable period for attending pregnant women is in the second trimester of pregnancy. However, in urgent cases and infectious foci in the oral cavity, no procedure is totally contraindicated, following the proper protocols. Keywords: oral health, pregnant women, service protocols.

Resumo: Abstract: Introduction: Pregnancy is a moment that brings many emotions in women's lives and the positive diagnosis for HIV will interfere directly in their prenatal care. This study aimed to understand the experiences of HIV-positive women during prenatal and postpartum follow-up. Review: This is a literature review study. The Virtual Health Library (VHL) was used to select the articles that guided the research. In the VHL, the following descriptors were used: HIV, pregnant women, prenatal care, maternity, feelings and mental health care, crossed with each other using the Boolean operator AND to interconnect the descriptors. The filtering criteria for inclusion of the articles were: Portuguese and English, last 5 years and the databases (Lilacs, Scielo, BDENF, MEDLINE). Discussion: After study and analysis of the 11 articles chosen to compose the work, it was possible to identify three aspects that are most part of the experiences of HIV-positive women during pregnancy and postpartum, they are: The feelings, emotions and mental health, the relationship with partners, family members and health professionals and the stereotypes about the diagnosis and how it affects seropositive pregnant and postpartum women. Final considerations: The multiprofessional team needs to have an active listening and clinical look in order to provide a comprehensive care that attends all the biopsychosocial issues of HIV-positive women, from pregnancy planning to postpartum. Keywords: mental health care, prenatal care, pregnant women, HIV, maternity, feelings. Expandir Resumo Acessar Texto Completo
