High risk pregnant women need special attention from health professionals so that complications do not develop during pregnancy and childbirth. The objective of the study was to compare the quality of life among pregnant women at high risk (GAR) and habitual risk (HRM). It is a cross-sectional study that used a semi-structured questionnaire and the WHOQOLBref instrument. The mean age of the 46 participants was 28.2 ± 5.7 years, and 45.7% had GAR. The GHR are compared to HRM, identifying married or living in a stable union (57.1% GAR, 88.8% GRH), have completed high school (33.3%, 52.0%) and do not have paid work (38.1%, 36.0%). The HRM presented higher scores in all domains when compared to the GRA, indicating a better quality of life. It is important to be aware of the various changes gestation can cause to women in order to meet the specific needs of each of them.
