The aim of this study was to understand the meaning of being-in-the-world-in-the-last-trimester-of-a-low-risk-pregnancy. This article is a qualitative study excerpt, which has Martin Heidegger’s phenomenology as methodological basis.Interviews were conducted with 10 low-risk pregnant women in their last trimester, residents in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Nova Iguaçu (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), in the period of May to June, 2014.The results revealed that pregnant women want natural childbirth. They fear contractions, pain and time of labor, but women consider themselves prepared to go through these.In conclusion, the being-in-the-world-in-the-last-trimester-of-a-low-risk-pregnancy fears the delivery, fears for the baby’s life and worries about postpartum.Thus, the nurse has an important role in prenatal, directing and solving doubts during consultations so that the delivery is a less apprehensive moment.
