Pregnancy, Delivery, Childbirth
This book reconstructs the history of conception, pregnancy and childbirth in Europe from antiquity to the 20th century, focusing on its most significant turning points: the emergence of a medical-scientific approach to delivery in Ancient Greece, the impact of Christianity, the establishment of the man-midwife in the 18th century, the medicalisation of childbirth, the emergence of a new representation of the foetus as "unborn citizen", and, finally, the revolution of reproductive technologies.The book explores a history that, far from being linear, progressive or homogeneous, is characterised by significant continuities as well as transformations. The book therefore places these events in their wider cultural, social and religious contexts, The ways in which a woman gives birth and lives her pregnancy and the postpartum period are the result of a complex series of factors.
