To be at the birth of a baby is special, yet there is an increasing
secularisation and reliance on technology in contemporary maternity
care, particularly in the western context. Through exploration of
experiences at birth this book explores joy at birth, which is
often ignored and overlooked beyond the activities that help to
ensure survival. This book draws on a collection of stories of
birth from mothers, birth partners, obstetricians and midwives,
that demonstrate joy at birth across professional groups and in
different types of births and locations with or without
technological interventions. Each chapter introduces stories of joy
that highlight embodied, spatial and relational meanings. Employing
the Heideggerian notion of a human being, it sketches out an
ontological focus that draws our gaze to the everyday
taken-for-granted ways of being at birth. Based on phenomenological
experiential data and rigorous interpretive analysis underpinned by
seminal philosophical writings, this book calls for readers to
attend to the wholeness of birth in all situations and at all
births in ways not attempted before. It will be of great interest
to midwives, and those working in and studying maternity,
obstetrics and neonatology, as well as social and medical
anthropology, sociology, cultural, organisational and clinical
psychology and spirituality.
