Among pregnant woman, 10 were in the first trimester, 13 in the second and seven in the last trimester of pregnancy. Data were collected through individual interviews. Content analysis was performed. Results: Three categories of the manifest content analysis appeared in both groups: awareness of oral health determinants (knowledge and attitudes), emotional reactions related to oral health (positive feelings, negative feelings and passivity) and values in oral health (appearance, social function of parents). Conclusion: Among the children analyzed, pregnancy experience did not influence the perceptions of oral health.
