The period of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle represents a time of major changes in the woman's body and in all areas of her life. In this context, this study aimed to understand the physical, cognitive and psychosocial changes in this period, as well as the emergence of psychological disorders. A bibliographic search was carried out, based on the analysis of books, scientific articles, among other texts of a scientific nature to help improve this knowledge, comprehension and understanding of this subject. The choice for the theme was motivated by the relevance and necessary care of this phase. Therefore, important themes in a period of great psychological and emotional fragility for women, such as the study of the baby blues, postpartum depression, puerperal psychosis, maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy and postpartum has a major importance for that one can intervene in the most effective way to support these disorders and their comorbidities, aiming at a better intervention and reception for women and their families. We tried to clarify and present the area of Perinatal Psychology, its form of action and its importance in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Questions about how psychology can act and intervene in the face of these demands, as an attempt to minimize the psychological suffering of puerperal women, must be asked and answered for a better understanding of this area of psychology. With this work, it was possible to understand the fragility of women in relation to this important period of their life and how they could intervene, observing and respecting the subjectivity of each pregnant woman with empathy, compassion, solidarity and professionalism. As a recent area that still needs attention and studies to understand the correlations between disorders and how they can affect the mental health of the mother and baby, it is expected that in the future more professionals will be interested in the topic and get involved to be support for maternal mental health.
