  To know the factors listed by puerperal woman that influenced the choice in type of delivery.
  
  
  METHODS

  RESULTS
  The Collective Subject Discourses resulted in the following categories: Desire for the type of delivery; Respect for the chosen type of delivery and Factors that influenced the choice. Most of the women interviewed (76%) expressed a preference for normal birth due to rapid recovery, less pain and suffering.
