Abstract:

The objective was to understand the experiences of double motherhood in healthcare during prenatal, childbirth, and postpartum periods, through a qualitative methods, using online individual interviews and online asynchronous focus groups with cisgender women, the majority in same-sex relationships. The results revealed the marginalization of these women\'s parental experiences, highlighting institutional violence present in Brazilian healthcare services, presented in two thematic axes: 1) Cisheteronormativity and its impact on double motherhood experiences and 2) Institutional violence in healthcare services:curiosity to LGBTQIA+phobia. It is concluded that cisheteronormativity hinders healthcare attention for these experiences, especially by rendering the non-gestational mother invisible. This underscores the urgent need to train healthcare professionals, rethink and challenge cisgender and heterosexual norms, and promote inclusive policies to ensure equitable care and combat institutional violence.
