Abstract

Objective: to reveal narratives of women deprived of their liberty about the obstetric care offered during the experience of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Method: exploratory, qualitative study, based on oral history. Data collection was carried out in a female prison institution in a state in the Northeast, with six women who were experiencing some period of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. The interviews were carried out by a cohort and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results: fragility of health care prevailed in the speeches in all phases of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle, involving un(assistance) prenatal care, unperceived experience of violence obstetric, feelings of abandonment duringdelivery and lack of an adequate environment for newborns within the correctional facility. Conclusion: the characteristics evaluated contribute to foster new reflections on
the standard of care for women deprived of their liberty and their children and emphasize the need for political and administrative reorganization of the prison system within the scope of SUS.
