The objective of this study is to expose the main concepts regarding the acute abomen and show its main etiologies in pregnant women. A review of articles was performed in the databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and PubMed, with the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): Acute abdomen; Abdominal pain; Diffuse pain; Pregnancy. Selecting articles between the periods 2005 to 2023, in English, Portuguese, German and Spanish. Regarding AA, even though it is a pathology considered to be infrequently recurrent during pregnancy, it is essential that health professionals are prepared to diagnose it accurately and quickly, given the potential risks for pregnancy when the diagnosis is late. It is concluded that the lack of a standard protocol for approaching these patients impairs medical decision-making and contributes to worse prognoses.
