Abstract

Gestation is a period in which the female body undergoes various changes, both physical and psychic. Childbirth is an event that awakens in pregnant women feelings of anguish, fear, anxiety and pain. The present article was carried out through a literature review carried out through a qualitative literature review, considering the relevance of the theme. There was a great rejection by the women in opting for the normal birth, due to the pains in labor and delivery. However, we also noticed relevant points in the choice of normal delivery; it brings benefits to the mother and the baby as it minimizes the health risks of both those involved in low-risk pregnancies and natural childbirth is recommended by the World Health Organization. It was noted with this research that physical therapy can help the quality of labor, facilitating in all its phases, with techniques that can help alleviate pain, allowing the woman to have a better body awareness, preventing injuries to the floor pelvic recovery, and assisting in postpartum recovery. It is the role of the physiotherapist to explain to pregnant women the types of childbirth and all the possibilities that exist. It was also realized that the physiotherapist can be specialized in the health of the woman, working with pregnant women, helping and directing her to stimulate the potentiality of her body in labor and delivery preventing complications. The physiotherapeutic approach will have beneficial results on the well-being of the pregnant woman, helping and preventing greater lesions in the pelvic floor musculature in normal deliveries.
