In this work, levels of anxiety were studied in three groups of pregnant women (thirty subjects each one), who had acquired cardiopathy, hypertension and healthy. Beck Scales, anxiety and depression subscales, and semi-structured interview were used. The analysis of the variance (ANOVA) indicated difference in the anxiety variable (p-value=0.021). The Tukey test was applied in the significant differences. Women with hypertension showed medium average level of anxiety meaningfully higher than the low risk ones. The majority of the pregnancies was not planned. In general, the women with heart disease cardiopathy didn´t refer to fear, and the ones who did it, mentioned fear of delivery, complications and C-section. In this group, the medical follow up clarified questions and also helped to reduce the anxiety. We pointed out the possibility to associate psychological counseling with prenatal and family planning in order to face pregnancy anxiety and avoid life-threatening situations.
