De quem é o parto? A Marcha do Parto em Casa como analisador dos movimentos pela humanização do parto.

Abstract

The March for Home Birth was a protest that took place on June 2012 in 31 Brazilian cities motivated by a statements from the Regional Council of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro, that claimed that there would be a ethical and disciplinary process against the doctor that explained in an interview on a television program that childbirth is a natural act, and therefore can take place wherever the women determines, including at home. Subsequently, this professional council issued two acts: one preventing doctors from participating in home births and obliging the emergency obstetricians to report any incidents identified by them, in which women were coming from home deliveries or any place that wasn't emergency rooms, the other act was preventing the entry of doulas, obstetricians and midwives in the maternity that belonged to the state of Rio de Janeiro, blaming the Hospital's technical director if that took place. From the concept formulated by Felix Guattari, this papers analyzes the March for Home Birth with a goal to identify the movements for the humanization of labour, departing from six interviews with the organizers and participants of the march in different cities of the country. It will provide a study on the actors and their actions to accomplish the realization of this movement, the acts by the Regional Counsil of Medicine and finally raises the question of the labour as a market dispute.
