Highlighting the experiences of midwives who provide care to women
opting outside of guidelines in the pursuit of physiological birth,
Claire Feeley looks at the impact on midwives themselves, and
explores how teams and organisations can support or discourage the
promotion of women's birth choices. This book investigates the
processes, experiences, and sociocultural-political influences upon
midwives who support women's alternative birthing choice and argues
for a shift in perspective from notions of an individual's
professional responsibility to deliver woman-centred care, to a
broader, collective responsibility. The book begins by exploring
the normal birth debates to demonstrate how hegemonic birth
discourse and maternity practices have detrimentally affected
physiological birth rates, as well as the wellbeing of women who
opt outside of maternity guidelines. It also provides real life
examples of how midwives can facilitate a range of birthing
decisions within mainstream midwifery services. The second part
develops a new model to explore how a midwife's socio-political
context can significantly mediate or exacerbate the vulnerability,
conflict and stigmatisation that they may experience as a result of
promoting alternative birth choices. Part three further explores
the implications of the model, looking at how team and
organisational culture can be developed to better support women and
midwives, making recommendations for a systems approach to
improving maternity services. Discussing the invisible nature of
midwifery work, what it means to deliver woman-centred care, and
the challenges and benefits of doing so, this is a
thought-provoking read for all midwives and future midwives. It is
also an important contribution to interprofessional concerns around
workforce development, sustainability, moral distress and
compassion in health and social care.
