Objective: Delimit parturient service profile and the OBGYN practices developed in the West Region Hospital between January and December of 2019. Methods: Consists of a quantitative transversal, retrospective, observational and descriptive research. Results: High rates of cesarean sections in the service (40%). Low rate of use of the partograph in care. According to the Robson Classification, most parturients (88%) fit between groups one to five, and 12% between groups six to ten. Conclusion: Cesarean rates higher than recommended by the World Health Organization due to a number of factors. The low rate of use of the partograph may indicate insecurity or lack of knowledge by professionals, lack of protocols, objections to its use, or outdated and lack of credibility of the instrument. National and international studies have shown a high rate of women between groups one to five being referred for cesarean section due to the lack of encouragement to good practices and the use of non-pharmacological methods and the failure to use the recommended instruments (partograph).

Methods: Qualitative study carried out from August 2019 to March 2020 with nine Obstetric Nurses who work in home birth. Data were collected through an in-depth interview, and analyzed by thematic analysis, considering the life narrative method proposed by Daniel Bertaux. Results: Three themes emerged: The option for home birth: profile of women and choices; The rescue of the physiological process, and the care of the obstetric nurse in home birth; Home birth in Brazil: obstacles and challenges for the performance of obstetric nursing. Conclusions: Through this study, it was found that obstetric nursing in planned home birth is presented as an option for the rescue of physiological childbirth.
