Abstract

The history of childbirth has been transformed progressively throughout history. From the time that midwives performed deliveries in home environments, a lot has changed with the development and incorporation of new technologies in the medical field. The adoption without criticism from a variety of interventions are not always necessary is a unnecessary risk run by many pregnant. The relationship of inducing or even impose the choice of type of delivery in Brazil is in alarm time. The act of giving birth ceased to be a natural process and first choice and became a commercial process. Therefore identify the reasons why women who wanted a vaginal birth to perform a caesarean section in the Basic Health Unit Jardim Ibirapuera neighborhood, profile the women who wanted a normal delivery, but underwent a Caesarean section, identify whether reasons that cesareans are real identifications, according to the literature, demystifying beliefs about normal delivery and cesarean section, check the knowledge of women regarding obstetric violence and finally to identify the factors that favored the exchange of desire for normal delivery for cesarean, they were the goals of this research. It became apparent that the profile of the interviews women understood white women (66%), young people aged 25-35 years (60%), married (86.6%), household (26.6%), living in own home (60%), with higher education (53.3%), multiparous (60%) with previous vaginal delivery in 60% of respondents, with 60% of cesarean indications were unrealistic and these performed mostly on the network private (86.6%) in a neighboring municipality the city where they live. The reasons that led these women to conduct unnecessary C-sections were medically indicated, which in turn make up with unrealistic justifications, or myths. Obstetric model centered on existing physician in our country, not induced to question and even ask for an explanation based on scientific theory to justify surgery, leading them to submission of an unwanted surgical process.
