AB Objective: To assess the risk factors perceived as stressors by pregnant women in thework environment and the possible adverse consequences of such exposure for thenormal development of pregnancy.Methods: Systematic review, guided by the PRISMA guidelines, and using Pubmed,Web of Science, Dialnet, SciELO, and REDIB databases. Methodological quality wasassessed using the critical appraisal tools for non-randomised studies of the JoannaBriggs Institute.Results: A total of 38 studies were included. The main risk factors found in the workenvironment of pregnant women were chemical, psychosocial, physical-ergonomicmechanicalfactors, and other work-related factors. The main adverse consequencesof exposure to these factors include low birth weight, preterm birth, miscarriage,hypertension and pre-eclampsia, as well as various obstetric complications.Conclusion: During pregnancy, working conditions that are considered acceptable innormal situations may not be so during this stage due to the major changes that occurduring pregnancy. Many obstetric effects may have an important impact in the mother’spsychological status; therefore, it is important to optimise working conditions during thisstage and to reduce or eliminate possible risks
