Introduction: The natural childbirth is a major risk factor for the occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunctions caused by increased pressure of maternal body weight and pregnant uterus, in this musculature and lacerations generated by the childbirth mechanism itself. In this context, the performance of physiotherapy is fundamental, aiming to reduce the possibility of perinous obstetric lesions. In addition, the professional also acts by reducing childbirth time, assisting in the expulsive phase and promoting non-pharmacological methods to reduce painful sensation during childbirth.
Objective: To verify if during pregnancy the pregnant women took part of a process of preparing the pelvic floor muscles for natural childbirth.
Methodology: Data collection was performed through a questionnaire with women aged 18-40 years in two private maternities, a total of 50 patients being divided 25 for each private institution, in the city of Belém in Pará, in the period from 03/2015 to 04/2015.
Results: Of the 50 puerperal women surveyed, 74% of them did not receive guidance for the preparation of pelvic floor muscles.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the puerperal women did not receive a professional orientation to prepare the pelvic floor muscles for natural childbirth. In addition, most of them had been encouraged to cesarean section.
