The pattern of childbirth care widespread in our society is marked by the uses of interventions and technologies, permeated by obstetric violence in terms of excessive medicalisation and loss of female autonomy. This is an exploratory research made with a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews, which analyzed the obstetric violence witnessed and pointed out from then arrative of health professionals who provide childbirth care, analyzed from Bardin’s content analysis. In this research we show that childbirth care is surpassed for many violences forms: physical and verbal abuses, moves restriction, physical exposure, lack of consent and orientation, from the trivialization of individuality and the female autonomy, as of the trivialization of good practices assistance on the childbirth and birth.
