Abstract

This quantitative descriptive research was undertaken in a maternity school in the city of Natal in the state
of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. and aimed to characterize the obstetric assistance given to the parturient woman through
indicators such as: type of birth, the presence of the companion during the labor, the presence of the companion in the
delivery room, breastfeeding in the delivery room, being taken to the shared accommodation, embracement, privacy and
physical structure. The sample was made up of 351 women at 12 hours post-partum, and the research was approved and
respected ethical precepts. As a result, it was verified that the majority of the parturient women were young, between 20
and 30 years old (56%), that cesarean births predominated (65%) as did the absence of the companions in the delivery
rooms (76%). It is concluded that it is necessary to respect the specific legislation, offering the women comprehensive
health care, privacy, comfort, embracement and active and resolutive listening.
