摘要：The article explores maternal experiences related to pain and suffering in medicalized birth. The information was obtained from a series of semi-structured interviews with parents who had been treated at an interventionist medical center. The analysis was made from a culturist position which is critical of the somaticist representation of pain. The results suggest assistance dynamics which favor the transformation of pain in suffering, a reality which, together with cultural world views of science and technology, is classified as nonsense, leading mothers into standardized pharmacological treatment of pain. We conclude that there is a hegemony in the biologicist representation of pain in clinical settings, with perspectives that fail to contemplate its moral, social and functional dimensions, thereby underestimating the value of other non-pharmacological approaches.
