Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: The project was approved by the Ethics Committees of the three universities and by CONEP (CEPISC UFBA 006/09, CEP CCSUFPE 061/09, CEP HUUFMA 002065/2009-30). The study ensured the voluntary participation of the women interviewed, exempting them from the signing of the Informed Consent Form (ICF), which was read and signed exclusively by the interviewer.
: The choice of the Oral Consent Form aimed at increasing the trust and protection of the interviewees, who could not be formally linked to an illegal and clandestine practice in the country. The interviews were conducted after hospital discharge, while the women were waiting for the administrative procedures to leave the hospital. All participants were given the right not to answer any questions, and the anonymity and confidentiality of their replies were safeguarded.
