Pregnancy and Reproductive Planning in Transplanted Women

The objective of this literature review is to provide some pregnancy results in transplanted women, proposals for preconception, prenatal and postpartum evaluation, including postpartum contraception, and therapeutic guidance during pregnancy and lactation. Based on the results found in research on PubMed without date or language limitations, we discuss the importance of reproductive planning for women with solid organ transplants and what should be done before the transplant. There are formal contraindications to pregnancy; however, when planned, within clinical and laboratory criteria, and with adequate immunosuppression and specialized prenatal care, pregnancy is possible with good perinatal results. We also highlight the importance of psychological support among pregnant women with solid organ transplants.
