Motherhood has repercussions for women, especially for athletes, who go through many career changes. The objective was to identify the socio-emotional impact of motherhood for athletes through an integrative literature review. The search was carried out using the keywords “maternity and sport”, “pregnancy and sport” and their corresponding words in English and Spanish, in the Web Of Science and Pubmed databases, with a date range between 2000 and 2022. from the content analysis, 19 studies were identified and three themes were identified: the need for emotional adjustments in the woman-athlete's life, the importance of social support and the need for labor security policies related to motherhood in sport. It is concluded that coaches, clubs and sponsors understand that motherhood in the career of athletes must involve guaranteeing labor policies and socio-emotional support to preserve the physical and emotional health of athletes.
