description This is a study, which shows the level of awareness of parturient for positions for a normal birth. The data was collected in the months of April and June of 2000 at the obstetrical center of the maternity school Assis Chateaubriand in Fortaleza. 86 parturient women attended by nurses were used to collect data.
