Choice, Control and Contemporary Childbirth - Understanding Through Women's Stories (Paperback, 1 New Ed)

Current maternity policy advocates choice and control for women in
maternity care, and promotes women as active childbirth consumers
and decision-makers. However, evidence that women receive true
choice within contemporary maternity services is lacking, and
continued and pervasive barriers to choice continue to have
profound consequences for many. Choice, Control and Contemporary
Childbirth explores the narrative childbirth experiences of a group
of women, outlining current policy and providing an overview of the
relevant discourses to which women are exposed when making choices
for maternity care. This book is unique in presenting narratives
that reveal varying identities for women across their maternity
exerience, illustrating how maternity choices are simulataneously
promised and constrained. It provides practitioners, service
providers and policymakers in maternity care, and all those with an
interest in birth provision, with profound insights into both
women's experiences of childbirth and how choices can be better
facilitated in future. 'Maternal choice and control are a challenge
in contemporary society, with the changing demography of the
population, the rising birth rate and financial constraints.
Collecting this diverse information in one publication is timely
and an invaluable resource for the practising and academically
active midwives, obstetricians and health service managers.' - From
the Foreword by Tina Lavender
