Fatores que influenciam a escolha do tipo de parto na percepção das puérperas Factors that influence the choice of birth type regarding the perception of puerperal women

“…The woman has the paradoxical idea that the surgery is a way to avoid pain. 9 This fear, however, is not justified, since the discomfort experienced by mothers during labor and postpartum is not much different between the two delivery routes. So, the pain of childbirth, even though mitigated by the use of analgesics on the cesarean section, it is always present, from pre-birth to post-partum, varying in intensity as the physiological, physical and emotional conditions of woman in labor, as well with quality of care provided to them in these moments.…”
