In\u00a0the paper\u00a0The birthing house as a place for birth: contextualizing the Rio de Janeiro birthing house<\/a>\u00a0(HCSM Oct.\/Dec. 2018),\u00a0 Ilana\u00a0L\u00f6wy (CERMES , France) explores\u00a0women\u2019s experiences in Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho (CPDCF),\u00a0 a service offered by Brazilian public health system (SUS).\u00a0 CPDF\u00a0shares with other birthing houses the promotion of exclusively natural, physiological, and de-medicalized childbirth and full control by non-medical staff (nurses, midwives) of the birth process.\u00a0The paper\u00a0concludes that women who give birth at CPDCF report they are satisfied with their experience. The main reason they give for their satisfaction is the individualized attention and care they receive.<\/p>\n

In early twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro, one in eight pregnancies ended in a stillbirth. The possibility of maternal death during childbirth also loomed large. Medical and governmental efforts tried to combat these statistics, but no real improvements in women\u2019s reproductive health occurred before 1940.<\/p>\n

The article\u00a0Birthing life and death: women\u2019s reproductive health in early twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro<\/a>, by Dr.Cassia Roth (Universidade da Georgia), shows that elevated stillbirth and maternal mortality rates marked women\u2019s reproductive years, despite official efforts to medicalize childbirth and increase access to clinical healthcare. Syphilis and obstetric complications during childbirth were the main causes of stillbirths, while puerperal fever led maternal death rates.<\/p>\n
