Abstract

To give birth in Brazil tells the history of women who face constraints in different situations of childbirth, experiencing feelings of recklessness and of a reception without cosiness in different hospitals and maternity hospitals. All of them are protagonists with their histories of expectations, hopes, joy of the birth of a baby and, paradoxically, of suffering, feeling of have been forsaken, violence, including the prevalence of the unnecessary intervention of technical procedures on the naturalness of the life.

It integrates the serie Nascer no Brasil that is an important audiovisual vehicle of scientific dissemination, contributing to sensitize and to inform the health professionals and the general public about the basic factors that must be considered during the childbirths
