Birthing Autonomy brings some balance to the difficult arguments
that arise from debates about home births, and focuses on women's
views and their experiences of planning home births. It provides an
in-depth exploration of how women make decisions about home births
and what aspects matter most to them. Comparing how differently the
pros and cons of home births are constructed and contemplated by
mothers and by the medical profession, the book looks at how
current obstetric thinking and practices can disempower and harm
women emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. Written in
an accessible style, this book is enlightening for student and
practicing midwives and obstetricians, as well as researchers and
students of nursing, medical sociology, health studies, gender
studies, feminist practitioners and theorists. It will also be
invaluable to expectant mothers who want to be more informed about
the choices they are facing and the wider context within which
their birth options are considered.
