Abstract:

Objective: To map the global scientific production on cisgender (cis) lesbian women motherhood in the field of collective or public health. Methods: A scoping review, with searches in 8 databases, performed in 2022 and 2024. The selection was carried out double and blind. The extracted data were analyzed and grouped into themes. Results: 34 articles were included, involving cis lesbian women and professionals of prenatal and maternity services. The findings are presented in eight categories - Heteronormative context of health services; Attitude and reflections of health professionals; Attention in prenatal services; Care in maternity services; Co-mothers; Strategies for managing situations in health environments; Disclosure or not of the condition of cis lesbian women; Possibilities to improve care in health services. Conclusion: Cis lesbian women face several difficulties due to the heteronormative context that prevails in health services. There is an urgent need to make the health services environments more inclusive. In addition, professional training needs to include content on sexual and gender diversity and counselling skills.
