Introduction: Pregnant women and newborns are considered by the World Health Organization to be vulnerable to infection with the new coronavirus. Evidence indicates priority attention to these groups since there is no scientific definition on the forms of contagion, mechanism of viral action and pathogenic potential, including in this context doubts about vertical transmission and breastfeeding. Objective: To synthesize the evidence available in the scientific literature about the impacts caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 in relation to childbirth and birth assistance. Methods: Integrative literature review carried out on the database of Medline/Pubmed, PMC, DOAJ, Medline/BVS, BDEnf, Scielo and Web of Science. Results: Of the 54 studies found, 18 were available at Medline/Pubmed; 16 at PMC; 11 at DOAJ; 7 at Medline/BVS, 2 at BDEnf, 11 at SCOPUS. After careful reading of the articles, 10 articles made up the sample. Conclusion: The articles made explicit the development of international advice for midwives, other health professionals and health service managers on the care of women and their babies during childbirth; adoption of a paternalistic system of approach to childbirth added to the fear of pregnant women; clarification of assumptions about COVID-19 risk in the third trimester of pregnancy; and established a comparison between the number of pregnant women and non-pregnant women who tested positive, identifying early any psychological impact that occurs during pregnancy.
