Results: the analysis of two categories emerged: "protection and legal support pregnancy: women's knowledge", which points to the lack of rights that the law guarantees to pregnant and postpartum women; and "Rights of pregnant and postpartum women in public and private services", the rights of women in childbirth care, should also be guaranteed in public and private environments.
