This study aimed to analyze the psychological repercussions of ongoing gestation in women with a history of gestational loss. The research was carried out at a Maternal and Child Hospital in the Northern Region of Brazil. Five women participated, with ongoing gestation and a history of a loss. A Semistructured Interview Roadmap was developed, specifically designed for this study. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis. The themes were: Maternity and its meanings, Feelings of gestational loss and subsequent pregnancy and Family support and the experience of motherhood. Positive and negative feelings related to the new pregnancy have been reported. Motherhood appeared tied to a complex process of learning. The history of gestational loss was relevant for understanding the feelings experienced in the ongoing gestation.

Keywords : Gestation; Gestational loss; Maternity; Family support.
