This article aimed to identify the scientific evidence about the educational strategies used to promote prenatal health. This is a systematic meta-synthesis. Analysis of published studies revealed the emergence of two central thematic categories: methodological strategies for the educational activities and; educational tools to promote prenatal health. The most used strategy was health education with pregnant women or couples, using conversation circles and focus groups as methods to target the public. The strategies and educational tools used to promote maternal health in prenatal care seek to anchor the expanded concept of health and to contribute to the construction of varied models of health education.
