Description

Home Birth: The Politics of Difficult Choices by Routledge examines the gap between policy and practice in UK maternity services. This book explores the lived experiences of women who faced opposition from health professionals when choosing home birth, one of three officially endorsed options for delivery. Through ten women's narratives, the author investigates why women encounter resistance to home birth and what this reveals about current midwifery practice. The book confronts challenging questions about how health systems implement choice rhetoric whilst simultaneously constraining women's autonomy. Essential reading for midwives, healthcare practitioners, policymakers and anyone interested in reproductive rights, this work provides critical insight into the barriers women navigate when exercising their right to informed choice about where to give birth.
