SUMMARY Objective. To evaluate the prevalence of cervical dysplasia among pregnant women. Method. We conducted an observational, longitudinal, prospective study, that analyzed the results of 250 cervical smears of pregnant patients that attended the Obstetrics consult of the University Hospital in Monterrey, Mexico, between January 2007 and July 2008. Results: 36 abnormal smears were analyzed (14.4%). Showing ASCUS in 3.2% (n=8), LSIL in 8% (n=20), HSIL in 2.4% (n=6) and AIS in 0.8% (n=2). The prevalence of cervical dysplasia confirmed by biopsy was 5.6% (n=14). Conclusions: We recommend performing cervical smears to all pregnant women for detection and appropriate treatment of cervical dysplasia.
