Objective: To understand, through scientific evidence, what prenatal care is like performed by nurses in primary health care in Brazil.

Results: The final sample of 25 articles of studies conducted in Brazil were grouped into thematic categories of analysis and indicate a performance: in multiple spaces, guided by protocols of the Ministry of Health; with reception and connection; difficulties/lack of preparation in sensitive issues; lack of knowledge of the network; and based on biomedical care. Conclusions: The role of nurses in prenatal care requires welcoming and building bonds, comprehensive care to women respecting their beliefs and particularities, and promoting a sensitive and comprehensive care practice.
