Resumen:
The birthing was always loaded with symbolism and mysticism, they were assisted by women
from the community and the woman was the protagonist, however with medicalization the
empirical knowledge was replaced by the scientific, the experienced hands of women in this
birth process were exchanged for the gloved hands of men, with all this exaggerated
manipulation, the pregnant woman was more favorable to suffer violence at that moment,
given that, the birth plan was created and encouraged as a tool to protect women and combat
this type of violence. The objective was to analyze the experience of the parturient-puerperal
woman regarding the fulfillment-non-compliance with her birth plan. It is a descriptive field
study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out through a semi-structured
interview and checklist. The study was carried out with 5 pregnant women, with the birth plan
elaborated at the Family Health Unit Francisco Alves Mutirão I, in the city of Cajazeiras-PB,
the data collection of the semi-structured interview and check-list of the elements of the birth
plan was carried out shortly after delivery by electronic means. The study respected the
ethical precepts set forth in Resolution 466/2012 of the National Health Council, being
approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Campina Grande / Teacher
Training Center under opinion No. 3,547,173. It was observed that the birth plan is still not
widespread as an artifice of empowerment and enhancement of the pregnant woman's
autonomy, since of the five pregnant women participating in the research, only one presented
the same in the maternity hospital. However, it was observed that the pregnant woman who
showed the document did not report suffered violence and all her wishes were met, differently
from the others where there were obstetric violence and different types and non-compliance
with her wishes. Thus, with the data collected it was possible to observe that the birth plan is a
powerful weapon of autonomy and in the fight against obstetric violence, this when
encouraged from the primary care by the professionals who accompany them.
