Abstract
to understand the intentionality of women's autonomous actions in labor. a study in Alfred Schütz's social phenomenology, developed with 15 puerperal women admitted to a university hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected through phenomenological interviews and analyzed according to the adopted framework and the comparison with scientific productions. the actions intended to receive physical and emotional support from their companions, from pregnancy, for a peaceful delivery with less pain, fast and without interventions. The intention was to do the right things for the child's well-being and, after delivery, to be painless and active to take care of their children. women's actions have intentionality arising from their knowledge, which is guided by the social relationships established in the world of life.

Summary
The development of nursing as a science permeates the role of nurses inserted in women and family care from reproductive planning, pregnancy, parturition, and puerperium In this field of knowledge, the profession leads changes when developing care and the possibilities of reducing unnecessary interventions in obstetric care, considering women in the foreground[1]. Such interventions come from the institutionalization of childbirth at the beginning of the 20th century, when it started to be conceived as an object of medical knowledge and practice to the detriment of meanings and senses of childbirth for women[2]. It is worth remembering that the maternal mortality ratio in 2015 was 60 deaths per 100 thousand live births in Brazil, which is well above the 35 deaths per 100 thousand live births recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) .
