Introduction: Anxiety disorder is present in the daily life of the population, and it can cause many different psycological and physiological problems to people of various ages. When it happens during pregnancy it can result in problems both for the mother and for the baby, and that’s one of the reasons why it should be treated in an effective way, willing to minimize the damage.

Objective: Evaluate the eficacy of non-pharmacological treatment to control anxiety and its value to the quality of life of mother and children. Methods: A literature rewiew on anxiety articles during prenatal took place using the PubMed platform, with MeSH’s descriptors. In total, the researchers found 88 articles articles and used 13 of them. Results: Some interventios like Yoga and Music were considered innovative when it comes to the treatment of anxiety during pregnancy. The use of small samples may have made the results less expressive, suggesting the necessity of retrials or new studies. In general terms, the terapies showed positive results regarding the decrease in anxiety during pregnancy. On the other hand, some methods and terapies were less effective, which does not mean that those should be neglected or rejected. Conclusion: Some terapies seem to produce a bigger effect than others and that’s why they should
