The intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in maternal and infant health, influencing everything from digestion to immune balance and fetal development. During pregnancy, the mother's microbiota undergoes significant changes that reflect the physiological needs of pregnancy, impacting the health of the pregnant woman and fetal development. This study reviews existing literature to explore the influence of maternal intestinal microbiota on gestational health and outcomes. The review was conducted between January and March 2025, analyzing 13 articles addressing the impact of the intestinal microbiome on gestational complications, including its interactions with the immune and metabolic systems of the pregnant woman. Literature analysis showed that intestinal dysbiosis was associated with adverse conditions such as birth complications and metabolic disorders, as well as negatively affecting fetal development. Studies suggest that modulation of the microbiota, through interventions like probiotics, could improve gestational outcomes and prevent chronic diseases in offspring. Additionally, the interaction between the maternal microbiome and epigenetic processes in the placenta may have a lasting impact on the baby's health. The research emphasizes the importance of monitoring maternal intestinal health and its influence on the immune system, offering new approaches for preventive and therapeutic strategies in gestational health.
