information too often ignored in sex education-on what pregnancy
and birth are, have been, and can be as transformative personal and
social events. Pregnancy and Birth: A Reference Handbook is a
woman-centered reference book on pregnancy and childbirth in the
United States. The medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth is a
theme; however, primary emphasis is on the historical and
contemporary significance of alternatives to medicalization
provided by the Midwifery Model of Care and how that can improve
outcomes for all, but especially underserved women. The volume
opens with a background and history of the topic, followed by a
chapter on related problems, controversies, and solutions. A
Perspectives chapter contains essays from a variety of individuals
who are invested in the topic of pregnancy and birth. The remaining
chapters provide students with additional information, such as
profiles, data and documents, resources, a chronology, and a
glossary. This book is accessible to high school and college-level
researchers, as well as general-interest readers curious about the
topic. Introduces readers to a perspective on U.S. pregnancy and
