Objective: to analyze the correlation between the level of spiritual well-being and satisfaction with life and the presence of psychopathological symptoms in pregnant women. Method: this is a cross-sectional study of 307 pregnant women in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil. Data was collected between January and October 2019, using the Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure, Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale and Brief Symptom Inventory. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with Pearson's correlation test, respecting a significance level of p<0.05. Results: spiritual well-being in the ideal (-0.501) and real (-0.496) dimensions showed a moderate negative correlation with the presence of psychopathological symptoms (p<0.01). There was a moderate negative correlation (-0.664) between satisfaction with life and the presence of psychopathological symptoms (p<0.01). Conclusion: the presence of psychopathological symptoms in pregnant women correlates with a decrease in spiritual well-being and satisfaction with life.
