Pregnancy has received little attention in terms of the perceived changes in the physical and psychological domain of women's health status and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life and coping strategies of pregnant women during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, in the municipality of Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul). A total of 79 pregnant women participated in the study, 32 of whom were high-risk and 47 average risk, with an average age of 24.6 years; to whom a quality of life questionnaire and a coping questionnaire were applied. High-risk pregnant women have higher quality of life in the Health/Functioning and Family domains; likewise, in all the significant coping factors. It is observed the need to accompany participants in special programs that are included in the prenatal period in order to contribute to coping with pregnancy.

Palabras clave : quality of life; high-risk pregnancy; coping.
