The arrival of their baby is eagerly anticipated by many women. However, when the time comes, up to 40 percent of birthing women experience distressing, violent, and even traumatic situations in the delivery room. They are pressured into interventions, suffer psychological and physical assaults, neglect, and a lack of autonomy – and are then left alone to cope with this disturbing experience. Lena Högemann takes a feminist look at clinical childbirth assistance. She reveals why midwives and doctors often disregard women's right to self-determination and the consequences of this. She combines her own experiences and those of other mothers and fathers with a critical analysis of the system. This is the first book that honestly prepares women for childbirth and offers support after distressing experiences.
