Grand Multiparous Mothers' Embodied Experiences of Natural and Technological Altered Births
Abstract:
In-depth interviews of a purposive sample (n = 14) of grand multipara mothers (five or more births) was conducted to investigate the mothers' embodied experiences of natural, technologically altered births and oxytocin inductions in U.S. hospitals from 1973 to 2007. A comprehensive secondary analysis of the lived experiences of natural birth and the high use of technology and oxytocin during birth, which was found in an original theme of a previous study, was explored. An overarching theme emerged of Embodiment of Birthing in U.S. Hospitals. Two patterns: Embodied Technological Altered Natural Births and Embodied Technologically Altered Induced Births were uncovered. Childbirth educators, doulas, and nurses are an integral part of creating changes in hospital settings, which discourage nonmedically indicated inductions and encourages changes in hospitals.
