“…As the partners mentioned in their own words, it is clear how important it is to recognize these signs and symptoms in order to avoid the unnecessary trip to the maternity. 7 Although, this is not the objective of the study, but it is important to emphasize the importance of the pregnant women's partners and their social support in understanding the signs of alert and labor. In order to increase the partners' knowledge not only about the time of the childbirth, but also about their actions, what signs precede labor and when to go to the maternity, there is an educational material entitled "Preparing yourself to accompany a natural birth: What is important to know?".…”

Objectives: ididentify the scores on the pregnant women’s knowledge on the signs of alert and labor and correlate the scores with the maternal age, number of children and the guidance they received during pregnancy. Methods: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach on pregnant women's previous knowledge of the signs of alert and labor performed with 100 pregnant women on their 30th week of gestation at the Hospital de Clínicas da UFTM (Clinical Hospital). The data collection was carried out from April to June 2016, using a semi-structured instrument tested as a pilot study. Results: only 21% of the pregnant women reported taking part in the pregnant women's group; 61% of them referred to not receiving any information on the signs of alert and labor. A statistically significant association was verified between the number of correct answers and the guidance they received during prenatal consultations. However, there was no correlation between the correct scores on maternal age and the number of children. Conclusions: the pregnant women who did not receive any kind of guidance, they had lower scores on the correct answers, which shows the importance of guiding them about Health Education during their prenatal consultations.

Objective: to identify the support actions undertaken for the woman during labor, birth, cesarean section and the postpartum period. Method: a transversal study, undertaken in three public maternity hospitals, with a sample of 1,147 companions. The data were collected through interviews and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The support actions were classified in four dimensions: emotional, physical, informational and relating to intermediation. Results: the majority of interviewees were the partner/father of the baby (76.7%). In labor, birth and the postpartum period, the actions of emotional support - such as calming, encouraging and praising, were performed by more than 80.0% of the companions; informational support, by approximately 70.0%; and intermediation by fewer than 65.0% of them. In childbirth, the emphasis on physical support was observed in assisting with walking (84.4%), and in changing position (90.4%).Conclusion: the companions participate actively in the birth process, performing actions of support in the four dimensions. Emotional support is the most frequent, followed by physical and informational support, mainly during labor and birth. The results contribute to valuing the companion from the woman’s social network in the birth scenario and to the recognition of his/her role as a provider of support.

“…Self-care and care for the other are associated with the feminine sphere and based on cultural issues. The literature on reproductive rights and gender issues (27) seeks to rescue the man's role in this period (2) , including labor and childbirth (28)(29) . In the present study, participants' manifestation of wanting to accompany the pregnancy and that both should be responsible for care, refers to the interpretation of men's interest in being included in the care actions, despite a culture that does not yet recognize them, given its focus on the mother-baby dyad (30) .…”

Objective: to know men’s perspective in face of reproduction in the situation of HIV-serodiscordance. Method: qualitative study developed in a university hospital in Southern Brazil. Unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 men living with HIV and a thematic content analysis was performed. Results: men expressed not wanting to have children and that this pregnancy was different. They showed concerns related to the vertical transmission of HIV, sexual and reproductive rights and responsibility in the exercise of parenthood. Final considerations: men’s perspective is influenced by their role in the family, which is historically and culturally determined, and by the concerns about infection, which are socially determined and entail their understanding of reproductive rights and their participation in care. In services, men’s perspective must be considered in the planning and implementation of health care actions by supporting their participation in the exercise of fatherhood.
