To this end, the following specific objectives were set: to contextualize anatomical and physiological changes during pregnancy; to evaluate the importance of strengthening structures capable of reducing the damage caused by pregnancy repercussions; and to discuss the use of biofeedback in pregnant women. The methodology used in this study was bibliographical research, in which this study was a systematic review of the literature. The results show that the device is effective in increasing body perception and muscle control, consequently enabling training and thus increasing pelvic floor muscle strength, preventing and treating the damage caused by pregnancy repercussions and improving the quality of life of pregnant women.
