Manifestations forms of violence in childbirth culturally imposed
A qualitative study carried out in a teaching hospital in a basic health unit in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which aimed to know the representations of obstetric violence with a group of women of childbearing age, with a previous history of vaginal or cesarean delivery. The results show that the majority of the interviewees wanted the normal delivery, but they did not obtain enough information about this form of birth by the health professionals who, in general, directed them to have a caesarean section.
