Giving Birth To A Subject: Transition To Motherhood As An Embodied & Technologically Mediated Experience (Sociocultural Psychology of the Lifecourse)

Explore the complex, deeply human journey of becoming a mother through a critical, contemporary lens with Giving Birth To A Subject: Transition To Motherhood As An Embodied & Technologically Mediated Experience, now available at Books Hub PK. Part of the influential Sociocultural Psychology of the Lifecourse series, this thought-provoking book is an essential resource for students, researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in the intersections of psychology, gender studies, sociology, and healthcare.

Giving Birth To A Subject rethinks motherhood as not only a biological process but as an embodied, psychological, and socially constructed experience shaped by technology, medical interventions, cultural narratives, and power relations. Drawing on feminist psychology, sociology, and critical health studies, this book examines how modern reproductive technologies, prenatal screening, birthing practices, and medical surveillance shape women’s identities and sense of agency throughout pregnancy and childbirth.

Richly informed by research, personal narratives, and case studies, the book illustrates how mothers negotiate medical expertise, bodily autonomy, societal expectations, and evolving technologies. It explores how ultrasound scans, fetal monitoring, assisted reproduction, and digital health apps impact the ways women experience, narrate, and claim ownership of their pregnancies and birthing journeys.

Giving Birth To A Subject highlights how the transition to motherhood is not simply an individual event but a social and relational process, co-constructed by partners, families, health professionals, and cultural norms. It challenges readers to critically reflect on issues of power, gender, medicalization, and technological mediation in reproductive health — making this book vital reading for psychologists, midwives, obstetricians, doulas, policymakers, and anyone committed to improving maternal care and reproductive rights.
