Objective: To analyze the influence of prenatal physiotherapy care in the control of emotions. Method: Randomized clinical trial that included primigravidae considered to be of habitual risk, enrolled in regular prenatal care and who wished for vaginal delivery. The pregnant women were randomized into two groups, the physiotherapy group in which a pelvic physiotherapy protocol was applied to prepare for vaginal delivery, and the control group, which was not submitted to the physiotherapy protocol. In both groups anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and confidence, anxiety and fear were assessed using a self-perception questionnaire. Results: The total of 31 pregnant women were eligible: 16 physical therapy group and 15 control group. There was found an increase in confidence of 93.3% versus 30.8%, p 0.003; a decrease in fear and anxiety of 86.7% versus 13.3%, p 0.031; and a positive influence regarding the techniques learned that helped throughout the delivery process of 86.7% versus 13.3%, p 0.031, in the physiotherapy versus control groups, respectively. Conclusion: The study showed that physiotherapy during pregnancy positively influences the self-perception of the emotional aspect of childbirth, hence increasing confidence (93% versus 30%) and decreasing anxiety and fear (87% versus 46%).
