"Aqui a gente é tratada como pessoa, no hospital é como corpo": motivações e trajetórias de gestantes em uma Casa de Parto pública no Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This research treats about "natural childbirth" and "humanized childbirth", and its research subjects are women from popular groups of Rio de Janeiro who made prenatal at a the Birth Center David Capistrano Filho. The "natural", approached for the first time by the obstetrician Dick-Read, is the one in which the interventions are minimized, once they are identified as something that creates complications during childbirth. The "humanized" can refer to labor in which the human rights, sexual and reproductive rights are respected or can refer to a serie of values and practices that arise as constitutives of a "humanized birth" (TOURNQUIST, 2003). This work is about the speeches elaborated by the women about body, pregnancy and childbirth and how they structure their choices and their narratives to achieve what they want. Another point that, although not central, deserves attention is the strength that these women make against some proposals Childbirth House and how it works out the relationship between them and the health team.
