Abstract

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 emerged with the urgent imperative of building new knowledge and scientific knowledge. OBJECTIVE: Given this need, this work aims to: report the experience of perinatal psychology, in a public prenatal clinic specialized in pregnant women exposed to Covid-19 during pregnancy; and discuss how this experience can contribute to the construction of mental health interventions aimed at this audience during the pandemic. METHOD: This is an experience report. RESULTS: It was possible to observe the presence of demands limited to perinatality itself and the construction of parenthood; related to the pandemic, lack of accurate information, illness and physical and emotional sequelae caused by the coronavirus. CONCLUSION: These findings allow psychology, especially in the field of perinatal psychology, to adapt its psychotherapeutic and psychoeducational interventions to the emerging issues of the pandemic. Strategies need to enable the integration of care, the expansion of social, emotional and instrumental support for this public, in order to provide a greater sense of security in the face of the pandemic. The need for studies that validate mental health interventions for pregnant women during the pandemic is highlighted.
