Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the self-acceptance of pregnant and postpartum women and to compare self-acceptance between the three gestational periods and the postpartum period. Methods: This cross-sectional, quantitative study included 446 pregnant women (mean age 28.93±5.93 years) from the three gestational trimesters and 236 postpartum women (mean age 28.19±6.38 years) with babies up to six months of age from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, and obstetric data, information on socioeconomic status and the scores from the Self-Acceptance Scale for Pregnant Women and Postpartum Women were collected. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses were performed to compare women in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy with postpartum women. Results: The study revealed that 24.9% and 22.9% of pregnant women and postpartum women, respectively, had low selfacceptance, whereas 31.6% of pregnant women and 33.5% of postpartum women had high levels of selfacceptance. Postpartum women showed lower self-acceptance than pregnant women in the second (p=0.0001) and third trimesters (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Pregnant women and postpartum women showed levels of selfacceptance ranging from low to high. Postpartum women showed lower self-acceptance than pregnant women in the second and third trimesters. Researchers and professionals who work directly in the assistance and care of these populations can make use of the results of this study to propose preventive and therapeutic measures focused on the development of self-acceptance during pregnancy and postpartum periods.
