Assistência ao nascimento na Bahia oitocentista

Abstract: This paper presents the traditions of assisted childbirth in the Brazilian state of Bahia in the 19th Century and develops the hypothesis that two obstetrical traditions coexisted in the capital, Salvador, namely the doctor-midwives--who used technical resources and knowledge acquired from obstetrics as a medical specialty--and the traditional midwives, whose know-how was purely of an empirical-sensorial nature. Despite all efforts employed by the doctors to win over the confidence of Bahian families, the midw… Show more

“…Studying childbirth assistance in nineteenth-century Bahia, Barreto suggests that in Salvador-the second large city of Brazil and home of the first school of Medicine-the technical obstetric culture of the physicians coexisted with the empirical knowledge of traditional midwives. Moreover, she argues that "the scientific culture of birth would only make sense a little later, in the first decades of the twentieth century, based on the alliance between doctors and women" [23]. New cultural and scientific institutions-such as the press, with the first periodicals, the National Library, and higher education institutes like the medical schools-brought new expectations and different values.…”

“…Depois, com a sedentarização, este papel foi sendo confiado a mulheres de sabedoria, mulheres de virtude de que nos fala Collière (1989), iniciando-se, deste modo, a especialização da prática de partejar. Estas mulheres, também elas mães e avós, que ajudavam outras mulheres a «dar à luz», detendo um saber prático que lhe foi transmitido por outras ou de cariz intuitivo, que Barreto (2008) denomina de empírico-sensorial, chegaram aos nossos dias e coabitaram com parteiras com formação formal. Daí também as denominarem de «parteiras», acrescentando «curiosas», como fizeram as pessoas entrevistadas, com excepção do primeiro entrevistado que se referiu a «Mãe Velha».…”

“…O terceiro (1940) e o quarto (1942) ocorreram em casa, assistidos pela mesma parteira (de boa fama), o quinto e o sexto na MDM, desconheço a razão, visto que os anteriores tinham corrido bem. Não foram referidos os termos «comadre» e «aparadeira» (Barreto, 2008), no entanto tenho ideia de ouvir o termo comadre nas nossas aldeias. O termo comadre também é interessante e significativo (cum + mater = com a mãe).…”

“…La imagen negativa dada a las parteras en los años 70 y 80, cuando se realizan los partos en los hogares, fue cambiada porque se ha comprobado que el acto de partería no ha causado tanta muerte y no era perjudicial para la sociedad como los médicos creían. En este contexto, se hace necesario ampliar el alcance del conocimiento y la investigación sobre el tema, que aún es poco reconocida y así rescatar las prácticas populares de salud, haciendo referencias a partos domiciliarios priorizando, por último, la inclusión y el reconocimiento de este gran profesional de salud pública (10) .…”
