From a total of 351 works, published in the databases Medline (66), Lilacs (43) and BDEnf (14), 15 publications were selected to include in the Integrative Review. The others (336) were excluded because they were studies that presented dissonance with the criteria used for inclusion. Result: The study observed that educational actions along with the group of pregnant are extremely important for both the mother and the baby. Since through dynamics, one can stimulate self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as reduce anxiety and expectations regarding the baby, both the pregnant and those close to her. Conclusion: It is concluded that the survey of the scientific articles provided a better understanding of the existing group interventions in primary health care and of the pediatric models used.
