Within medical environment, emotional aspect of therapy strategy is frequently ignored or confused with different psychological aspects. There are scarce reports of high-risk pregnancies or recurrent gestational loss, most of them focused on an isolated event or factor related with self-concept. To get self-concept profiles in two important reproductive different moments (high-risk pregnancy and recurrent gestational loss) and better focus therapy strategies. Exploratory, transversal, retrospective, non-experimental, descriptive, and closed study. Two hundred patients referred from external consultation at Instituto Nacional de Perinatologia: 100 with high-risk pregnancy (A group), and 100 with recurrent gestational loss history (B group). Pregnant patients must have no abortion history. Patients with recurrent gestational loss had lower score in every clinical scale, and statistically meaningful differences. Both profiles had peak and sinusoid similarities. Intensity difference was evident and clarifies the psychological dynamics of both contingencies.
