| Sumario: | Childbirth is a unique and highly significant experience for women, as it is an event that allows them to bring another human being into the world. This moment is marked by both joys and pains inherent to the process of labor. This significant event can occur through a completely natural process (vaginal delivery) or through surgery (cesarean section). The justifications for one type of childbirth over the other are diverse, and surgical delivery should be reserved for specific situations. However, cesarean sections often occur without a proper medical indication, either by the woman's choice or due to arbitrary decisions made by the physician. This article aims to examine the existing literature on the choice of childbirth method and the advantages of vaginal delivery for the parturient. To achieve this goal, an integrative review was conducted using the SciELO, LiLACS, and BDENF databases. Data collection took place between August and October 2023, focusing on studies published between 2018 and 2023. The results allowed us to identify the following advantages of vaginal delivery for women: rapid postpartum recovery, bonding with the baby, lower risk of hospital and postpartum infection, and a lower risk of mortality. Thus, it is essential to emphasize the importance of exploring, in future studies, the advantages of vaginal delivery for the baby as well. Both the mother and the child experience these advantages mutually, making it crucial to consider the benefits for both parties. |
