The purpose of this study was to comprehend the meaning of the humanized childbirth experience for teenage parturients. Phenomenology was adopted as the way to achieve the essence of the phenomenon. Eight teenagers who were assisted at the Sofia Feldman Hospital--a philantropic and non-profit-making institution--Belo Horizonte/MG--Brazil--have taken part of this study. Field work and open interview were the proceedures used for data collection. The study made it possible to seize three categories of analysis: Prechildbirth/Chilbirth--the body is being controlled. Prechildbirth/Chilbirth--a combination of pain and pleasure; Humanized Childbirth--expected and desired care.
