Abstract: Dealing with reactions experienced by families in the face of the birth of a baby with a congenital anomaly and promoting the acceptance of the structural, functional, anatomical and physical conditions of a child is a dynamic and challenging process. Objective: To analyze and synthesize the knowledge produced regarding the feelings that affect the parents of children with congenital anomalies in the puerperal period. Method: This is a scoping review conducted through the guiding question: “What feelings affect the parents of children with congenital malformation in the puerperal period?” In the databases BVS (Virtual Health Library), Medline (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Lilacs (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), and BDENF (Nursing Database). Overall, 693 studies were excluded, and 19 were included in the sample to meet the inclusion criteria. Results: The sample consisted of 19 studies that demonstrate that the feelings of parents of children with congenital anomalies during pregnancy and the puerperium are manifested by anxiety, fear, depression, emotional overload, mourning, crying, suffering, despair, anger, loneliness, exclusion, sadness, surprise, anguish, stress, denial, psychopathological symptomatology, suicidal ideation, rejection, doubt, concern, psychological alterations, and insecurity. Conclusion: It is up to the health system to construct public policies and training strategies so that health workers can be prepared to accommodate this demand in a multi-professional manner.
