ABSTRACT
Objective: to identify preventive measures and self-care practices related to COVID-19 among pregnant women. Method: observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in a virtual environment. Pregnant women over 18 years of age with internet access were included. A questionnaire was used with questions about the current pregnancy, COVID-19, and public health measures in place. Descriptive analysis of qualitative variables, central tendency, mode, with minimum and maximum values. Results: 46 pregnant women. All underwent prenatal care. Regarding COVID-19, the internet was the main source of information; most adhered to preventive measures and were immunized. It is noteworthy that the guidance received on COVID-19 during prenatal care was not sufficient to clarify doubts and/or questions about the vertical transmission of COVID-19 during breastfeeding. Conclusions: weaknesses were observed in the guidance and/or health education strategies used by health professionals.
