Abstract
Objective: To compare pain in functional activities and physical activity among postpartum women and analyze reasons for choosing the route of delivery. Methods: Fifteen participants answered a questionnaire during pregnancy (Google Forms) with personal information and up to 96 hours postpartum, another related to pregnancy and childbirth, also the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) for functional activities and another on physical activity in the last quarter. Analyzes included descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk test and unpaired Student's t test (p < 0.05). Results: Significant predominance of mobility pain in the cesarean section (CG) group (p < 0.0001). There was no difference in energy expenditure between groups and reasons for choosing the method of delivery included quick recovery from natural birth (60%) and previous cesarean section experiences. Conclusion: Preference for cesarean section is related to a higher level of mobility pain, suggesting the need for multidisciplinary support to encourage natural birth.
