Babies are not simply born-they are made through cultural and
social practices. Based on rich empirical work, this book examines
the everyday experiences that mark pregnancy in the US today, such
as reading pregnancy advice books, showing ultrasound "baby
pictures" to friends and co-workers, and decorating the nursery in
anticipation of the new arrival. These ordinary practices of
pregnancy, the author argues, are significant and revealing
creative activities that produce babies. They are the activities
through which babies are made important and meaningful in the lives
of the women and men awaiting the child's birth. This book brings
into focus a topic that has been overlooked in the scholarship on
reproduction and will be of interest to professionals and expectant
parents alike.
