AB Background. Around 30% of pregnancies conclude in a gestational loss. Most women who suffer a gestationalloss become pregnant again. However, mothers who have experienced this situation live the newpregnancy with fear and anxiety. Objective. To perform an update of the main works done in the study ofpost-traumatic stress and related symptoms during pregnancy after a gestational loss. Method. The Medlinedatabase was consulted. Articles published from 2007 to date were selected. Key words related to thetopic of study were used. Results. The studies reviewed showed five entities that deserve attention duringa pregnancy achieved after a gestational loss: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship, andrelationship with the future child. There is a relationship between the presence of post-traumatic stress and therisk of developing depression and anxiety. Discussion and conclusion. Women who experience perinatalloss, regardless of the type of loss and the gestational age in which it occurs, are at risk of continuing grief,symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in later pregnancy. The gestational age and thetime elapsed between the perinatal loss and the next pregnancy seem to be the most influential factors in thedevelopment of post-traumatic stress sindrome, and symptoms of dysfunctional grief, anxiety, and depression.
