Description

Pregnancy provides a very public, visual confirmation of femininity. It is a time of rapid physical and psychological adjustment for women and is surrounded by stereotyping, taboos and social expectations. This book seeks to examine these popular attitudes towards pregnancy and to consider how they influence women’s experiences of being pregnant. Sanctioning Pregnancy offers a unique critique of sociocultural constructions of pregnancy and the ways in which it is represented in contemporary culture, and examines the common myths which exist about diet, exercise and work in pregnancy, alongside notions of risk and media portrayals of pregnant women. Topics covered include: Do pregnant women change their diet and why? Is memory really impaired in pregnancy? How risky behaviour is defined from exercise to employment The biomedical domination of pregnancy research. Different theoretical standpoints are critically examined, including a medico-scientific model, feminist perspectives and bio-psychosocial and psychodynamic approaches. Review "Sanctioning Pregnancy is readable, enjoyable, and eye-opening in its coverage of the stage of the art of pregnancy research. In addition, the content of this book is a valuable example of the process of critical evaluation of a body of literature. As such, it provides its readers with a work that is enlightening, not only by virtue of the content per se, but also for the comprehensive, open-minded, and unbiased method in which that content is presented. ... [Sanctioning Pregnancy] would be useful in teaching the critical thinking process in a wide range of topical areas." – Lynda M. Federoff in Sex Roles "The book's strength lies in its choice of topics: psychology itself is a broad discipline and its diversity is reflected here. Its accessible writing style and interdisciplinary nature means that it has relevance across a variety of disciplines and levels including sociology, psychology, gender studies and midwifery/healthcare." – Abigail Locke, Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University.
