A parturienteum estudo psicológico

Resumo

The present study gas the purpose to identify the experiences endured by the parturient women during her first normal childbirth. Supposing beforehand a phenomenological approach, a field explanatory research was traced in which thirty recently delivery women in a normal childbirth condition, all of them primiparas, were interviewed one to three days postpartum on their beds in the motherhood. The interview followed a methodological model of life histories and by such histories the recently delivery women contributed with a detailed report about their childbirths. Their reports served for giving us information regarding the following four basic data in reference to parturient women in the course of her normal childbirth: a) physical experiences; b) emotional experiences; c) the meaning of hope; and d) perception of the medical doctor’s behavior. For practically the majority of the interviewed women, the hope of becoming pregnant was highly important and rather grafting; only a small number of them presented negative considerations as to the arrival of the baby.
