• Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Thrombophilia is defined as a hypercoagulable condition characterized by venous thrombotic events resulting from hereditary or acquired alterations. The incidence of a pregnancy triggering clinical thrombosis is 0.6 to 1.7 cases per thousand pregnancies. This is a consequence of reactions occurring in the bodies of pregnant women, which are the result of hormonal changes. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a search of national and international literature on the occurrence of thrombophilia in pregnant women, as well as nursing care, aiming to address clinical peculiarities in the female population, supporting nursing interventions in detection, monitoring, and clinical management. METHODOLOGY: This research is a literature review; articles published between 2018 and 2022 were used for data collection. The data were obtained from virtual sources using websites with complete scientific basis. The websites were: Google Scholar, Virtual Health Library; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: It is known that pregnant women have a 5 to 6 times greater risk of developing thrombosis compared to non-pregnant women. Of the types of thrombophilia, hereditary thrombophilia has a higher incidence of obstetric complications, resulting in cases of miscarriage, fetal growth retardation, and difficulty conceiving. CONCLUSION: It is valuable for pregnant women to seek adequate prenatal care, as early diagnosis provides greater safety for both mother and child. By investigating the pathology early, better management can be achieved, offering a safe pregnancy.
