Through history, interviews, anecdotes, and popular culture, this
book examines pregnancy from all angles, covering changing
expectations for pregnancy; new definitions of when fatherhood
begins; the implications of new, earlier connections to the fetus;
and the political, economic, and social consequences to the public.
In the 21st century, pregnancy is more than a biological event-it's
a cultural phenomenon. A Womb with a View: America's Growing Public
Interest in Pregnancy addresses how media influence and changes in
society have exposed and commoditized pregnancy like never before,
while technology has enabled us to share, record, and preserve all
aspects of the pregnancy experience. Each chapter of the book
focuses on an aspect of the pregnancy experience, including efforts
to peer in and bond with the fetus, the various ways of obtaining
advice, the evolving role of expectant fathers, how pregnancy is
depicted and treated in popular culture, and branding and marketing
to pregnant couples. Interviews with those marketing products and
services to pregnant women reveal how pregnancy is now "big
business," while real-life stories from pregnant women and images
from television and film serve to illustrate our culture's
fascination with pregnancy.
