ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the existential movement of women with heart diseases in the context of Reproductive Planning. Method: Qualitative with Heideggerian phenomenological approach. Seventeen participants with heart disease and with recent experience of pregnancy at a reference institution for maternal risk participated in the study, through the phenomenological interview. Results: Two units of meanings emerged in the hermeneutical analysis: To be more attentive and concerned with the treatment because the problem remains the same; Expressing that they don´t want to get pregnant anymore because they´ve reached the limit and to seek planning in doing the tubal ligation. Conclusion and implications for practice: The unveiling of the existential movement made it possible to understand that, although the participants felt secure with the institutional follow-up of high-risk pregnancies, this proved to be insufficient with regard to Reproductive Planning. It stands out the necessary consideration by nurses and other health professionals that this planning is an important set of actions to identify and modify risks in women with heart diseases in the perspective of better perinatal outcomes. It is necessary to advance in the comprehension of the subjective aspects of the woman and the couple through the dialogue, besides the permanent education work of the whole team. RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar el movimiento existencial de La mujer con cardiopatía en el contexto del Planeamiento Reproductivo. Método: Cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico Heideggeriano. Fueron participantes 17 mujeres cardiópatas con experiencia reciente de embarazo en institución referencia para riesgo materno, a través de la entrevista fenomenológica. Resultados: emergieron las unidades de significados: Estar más atentas y preocupadas con el tratamiento porque el problema continúa el mismo; Expresar no querer más embarazarse porque llegaron al límite y buscar planeamiento para hacer ligadura. Conclusión e implicaciones para la práctica: El desvelamiento del movimiento existencial permitió comprender que, aunque las participantes se sintieran seguras con el acompañamiento institucional del embarazo de alto riesgo, éste se mostró insuficiente para el planeamiento reproductivo. Es necesaria la consideración por parte de enfermeras y demás profesionales de salud de que el planeamiento es un importante conjunto de acciones para identificar y modificar riesgos en mujeres con cardiopatía en
