21. “Putting the baby back in the body”: The re-embodiment of pregnancy to enhance safety in a free-standing birth centre

Abstract

The general discourse in most countries is that technological surveillance during pregnancy and childbirth is synonymous with safety, while women's individual experiences are less likely regarded as critical. The aim of this ethnographic study at a birth centre in Germany was to describe how midwives and their clients construct risk and safety. The data collection methods included participant observation and semi-structured interviews. ‘Putting the baby back in the body’ was the major theme that emerged, supported by three sub-themes. The women in this study relied on scans at the beginning of pregnancy to make their baby real to them, but became more confident in their capacity to sense their baby after experiencing the first fetal movements. The midwives fostered this confidence by using interactive palpation of the abdomen with the women, thus supporting their individual sensory experience, and, in the midwives’ view, enhancing overall safety during pregnancy and at birth.

Abstract

The article discusses the topic of midwifery and the controversy surrounding the "natural" birth method. The author, Allison Yarrow, disagrees with the traditional approach to birth, arguing that it prioritizes hospital protocols over the needs of the person giving birth. Yarrow believes that giving birth in hospitals, with restrictions on movement, food, and pain medication, actually makes the process more difficult and painful. The article also highlights the high rates of maternal and infant mortality in the United States, which has a highly medicalized birth system, and suggests that returning to midwifery care and focusing on the physiology of birth could save lives. The second part of the article discusses the global nuclear crisis and the need to halt all wars and weapons commerce to mitigate climate change. It mentions the existence of an international law, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which bans the use and possession of nuclear weapons, but notes that nuclear states have ignored this agreement without facing consequences.

41. Testing Times: The Social Life of Non-invasive Prenatal Testing.

Abstract

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a genomic technology used to predict the chance of a foetus having a genetic condition. Despite the immediacy of this technology's integration into clinical practice, there is a dearth of evidence outlining how both patients and professionals experience NIPT on the ground. In this article, we draw upon our collective empirical research—specifically on earlier screening technologies (BKR), Down syndrome screening (GT), genetic screening/testing (JL) and NIPT (HS)—to outline the most pressing and often controversial issues which, we argue, remain unresolved and vital to consider regarding NIPT. We begin with a brief introduction to NIPT as a prenatal technology and the bodies of literature which unpack its 'social life'. In what follows, BKR discusses NIPT within the context of her research on 'the tentative pregnancy' and diagnostic testing in the USA. In the following sections, GT, HS and JL identify different, but related, concerns with respect to NIPT, particularly around routinisation, commercialisation, choice, abortion, and configurations of disability and 'normalcy'.
