Medicalisation of Childbirth in Western Society Can Women Resist the Medicalisation of Childbirth?

The medicalisation of childbirth seems to have reached a stage in the Western world where the increasing reliance on technology seems to be having a negative effect. Power within relationships, such as between the population and authority, affects the population in a regulatory and disciplinary manner where the population feel the need to conform. Abnormal behaviour, such as resisting medicalisation, is heavily criticized because it creates uncertainty and danger. Childbirth is considered to be a deviant condition whereby women have to conform to the medicalisation of childbirth. If women resist, their behaviour is considered abnormal and risky but should be respected, as the women who find the strength to resist, often do so successfully. They do become part of a power struggle, where the health professionals and women use tactics to try and get what each need. Childbirth should be part of a respectful relationship whereby both views are respected to create a final outcome that empowers the woman, ensures a safe birth for the baby but with the help of the health professional.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Bearing in Mind Birth, Fathers, Ritual, and 'Reproductive Consciousness' in Transpersonal Anthropological Perspective A thesis presented in partial fulfilmentof the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III Social Anthropology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. Gregg Lahood 2006 Abstract Bearing in Mind: Birth, Fathers, Ritual, and 'Reproductive Consciousness ' in Transpersonal Anthropological Perspective is an exploration of 'unusual' psycho spiritual experiences among a small group of procreative fathering males in New Zealand and the viewing of these experiences through a transpersonal anthropological lens. I have used the transpersonal literature and the anthropological record, coupled with fieldwork among contemporary males to explore some of their more 'non ordinary' responses to childbirth, paying close attention to the symbolic and therapeutic dimension implicated in their participation.) Frequently their narratives suggest psychological encounters with death and transpersonal states of consciousness. This research examines these states of consciousness, the broad cultural context from which they arise and their relationship to birthing. Two basic themes are explored: 1) the social shaping of birth as a transpersonal event and ritual at the time fathers joined their partners in birthing during the late 1960s, and 2) an investigation of the transpersonal experience itself. Such phenomena have wide anthropological ramifications which opens a third theme for exploration: the possible parallels with more traditional, shamanistic, and/or indigenous midwifery and obstetrical manoeuvres (and therefore religion) - these parallels will be outlined and explored.

Midwifery Is Not the Practice of Medicine
Midwifery Is Not the Practice of Medicine Suzanne Hope Suarezt For the great majority of American women, the right to choose the place and manner of giving birth has quietly, but continually, narrowed. 1 In just half a century, allopathic physicians2 in the United States have enticed ninety-nine percent of us into their places of business (hospitals) for childbirth, forced on us a medical model of birth that has never been proven safe or beneficial, raised the price of services which have diminished in quality and quantity, and lobbied state legislatures for laws that would require us to submit to their exclusive control during pregnancy and childbirth. Unfortunately, the role of obstetrics has never been to help women give birth. There is a big difference between the medical discipline we call "obstetrics" and something completely different, the art of midwifery. If we want to find safe alternatives to obstetrics, we must rediscover midwifery. To rediscover midwifery is the same as giving back child- birth to women. And imagine the future if surgical teams were at the service of the midwives and the women instead of controlling them.' t R.N., B.S.N., J.D., AAUW Educational Foundation National Fellow, 1991-1992.

Female Genital Mutilation in the UK- Where Are We, Where Do We Go Next? Involving Communities in Setting the Research Agenda S
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Aberdeen University Research Archive Dixon et al. Research Involvement and Engagement (2018) 4:29 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40900-018-0103-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Female genital mutilation in the UK- where are we, where do we go next? Involving communities in setting the research agenda S. Dixon1* , K. Agha5, F. Ali6, L. El-Hindi5, B. Kelly4, L. Locock1,2, N. Otoo-Oyortey7, S. Penny8, E. Plugge3 and L. Hinton1* Abstract Background: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is all practices involving cutting, alteration or injury to the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It is a form of violence against women and children, with no benefits and many harms. In 2014, the UK Government committed to working to eliminate FGM. Steps taken towards this aim included creation of educational and safeguarding resources for professionals, and legislative changes including a mandatory reporting duty for professionals in England and Wales (where if a girl under 18 discloses or is found on examination to have FGM then the professional is mandated to report this to the police), and an FGM Enhanced Dataset applicable to NHS organisations in England requiring the submission of personal data about women and girls who have had FGM to NHS Digital. To date, compliance with dataset returns from primary care services have been low. This report describes using patient and public involvement (PPI) to identify research and service priorities to support communities affected by FGM. Methods: We held a series of PPI events (4 focus groups, and a multi-agency seminar) in 2015–2016, following the introduction of these legislative changes, speaking to community members, and professionals involved in their care.

Health Social Movements and the Hybridisation of 'Cause Regimes'
Health Social Movements and the Hybridisation of ‘Cause Regimes’: An Ethnography of a British Childbirth Organisation Celia Roberts, Imogen Tyler, Candice Satchwell and Jo Armstrong Affiliations Celia Roberts, Imogen Tyler and Jo Armstrong: Department of Sociology, Lancaster University, Lancaster Candice Satchwell, Education and Social Science, University of Central Lancashire, Preston Abstract This article reports on an ethnographic study of the UK’s largest health advocacy organisation dedicated to pregnancy, childbirth and parenting, the National Childbirth Trust or NCT. Working from interview data, textual materials and fieldnotes, we articulate three key phases in the NCT’s historically shifting relationships to feminism, medicine, the state and neoliberal capitalism. The concept of folded cause regimes is introduced as we examine how these phases represent the hybridisation of the organisation’s original cause. We argue that for the NCT the resulting multiplicity of cause regimes poses significant challenges, but also future opportunities. The apparent contradictions between cause regimes offer important insights into contemporary debates in the sociology of health and illness and raises critical questions about the hybrid state of health advocacy today. Focussing on cause allows for a deeper understanding of the intense pressures of diversification, marketisation and the professionalization of dissent faced by third sector organisations under current social and economic conditions. 1 Key words: National Childbirth Trust, Health
