- Abstract
Introduction: Innumerable factors are considered in the decision-making when choosing the type of childbirth. When it is a first-time woman, there are not previous experiences, so other factors can influence her in the selection of how to give birth. Objective: to identify the preference of the first-time pregnant woman in terms of the type of childbirth, to know the factors that influence her decision-making in that selection and her expectations in relation to childbirth through the chosen type of birth-delivery. Method: A descriptive study with a quantitative approach carried out with 35 first-timers in prenatal care in public health units in a municipality in the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection was conducted in August and September 2015 and a semi-structured interview was used. Results: the selection of the vaginal delivery, the presence of positive expectations in relation to the chosen way of birth-giving and the lack of influence of third parties on the decision-making process prevailed. Conclusions: The decision of the women in selecting the way of birth- delivery is turning in a preference, but a simply a professional indication, which highlights the importance of health education in prenatal consultation.
