Abstract
Objectives: to understand experiences and meanings attributed to childbirth/birth and postpartum by women affected by COVID-19.
Methods: qualitative study in light of complexity, conducted through interviews with 15 women in university hospital reference for infected and high-risk pregnant women in tenth Health Region of Paraná, Brazil, between December 2021 and April 2022. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: childbirth/birth and postpartum experiences different from what was desired and planned, permeated by uncertainties, unpredictability and contradictions, especially regarding maternal and neonatal outcomes, were identified. Experiences full of meanings and emotions caused suffering and compromised mental health, particularly related to prematurity, newborn separation, absence of companion and isolation in COVID-19 unit. Mother-baby bond, self-care and breastfeeding damage, and antagonistic professional actions were observed, with a setback in obstetric practices.
Final considerations: there is a need to respect the rights guaranteed by law and designate professionals trained for maternal and child care.
