%X Objective: to identify spiritual/religious habits and practices among high-risk pregnant women and to analyze their
beliefs on the subject. Methods: descriptive and exploratory study of quantitative approach. Data collection occurred
between November 2016 and February 2017, at a High-Risk Pregnancy Outpatient Clinic in inland SŁżo Paulo, through

The participants were 104 high-risk pregnant women. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results:
53.8% of the pregnant women self-reported Catholic; 54.9% attended religious meetings at least once a week;
80.8% reported experiencing the presence of the Divine in their lives; 92.3% believed that their spiritual/religious
belief helped them face risk pregnancy; and 86.5% believed that they had the right to have their spiritual/religious
needs contemplated during medical care or hospitalization. Conclusion: for most of the interviewees,
spiritual/religious practices were employed during the experience of high-risk pregnancy. Thus, health professionals
need to consider this aspect during care
