Birthing houses\u201d or \u201cbirthing centers\u201d were initially developed in reaction to perceived excesses of the medicalization of childbirth. The birthing house movement started in the 1970s in California, then spread to other cities and countries.\u00a0These houses aspire to reproduce a home-like environment, with a minimum of medical surveillance and interventions during childbirth, and the encouragement of the presence of family members and friends during delivery.<\/p>\n

The paper\u00a0The birthing house as a place for birth: contextualizing the Rio de Janeiro birthing house<\/a>\u00a0(HCSM vol.25 no.4 Rio de Janeiro Oct.\/Dec. 2018), by researcher Ilana\u00a0L\u00f6wy (CERMES , France) explores\u00a0women’s 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.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/b>Since CPDCF is staffed by obstetric nurses and has no surgical facilities, it cannot administer epidural anesthesia and has no means of dealing with severe complications during childbirth. CPDCF\u2019s staff strongly adhere to the view that childbirth is a normal physiological process.<\/p>\n

The paper also says 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
