Free Download Coming to life : philosophies of pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering By LaChance Adams, Sarah; Lundquist, Caroline R

Coming to Life does what too few scholarly works have dared to attempt: It takes seriously the philosophical significance of women’s lived experience. Every woman, regardless of her own reproductive story, is touched by the beliefs and norms governing discourses about pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering.The volume’s contributors engage in sustained reflection on women’s experiences and on the beliefs, customs, and political institutions by which they are informed. They think beyond the traditional pro-choice/pro-life dichotomy, speak to the manifold nature of mothering by considering the experiences of adoptive mothers and birthmothers, and upend the belief that childrearing practices must be uniform, despite psychosexual differences in children. Many chapters reveal the radical shortcomings of conventional philosophical wisdom by placing trenchant assumptions about subjectivity, gender, power and virtue in dialogue with women’s experience

"No matter how science has progressed, childbirth, in essence, has remained unchanged from ancient times . . . t is the last natural process left to us," writes internationally lauded obstetrician Dr. Tadashi Yoshimura. "The fact that it has remained unchanged means that there is truth in it." The truth and power of birth is the subject of Dr. Yoshimura’s first book published in the United States. Yoshimura describes babies born so directly into the arms of their mothers that they do not cry, and women so transformed with pride and passion in their ability that they are joyous and forever changed. Instead of a medical emergency, Yoshimura describes birth as a transcendent and natural process that cannot be perfected, and that, when performed through the innate power of women, reveals what he calls a "mystic beauty." Full of delightful stories of birthing women and peaceful smiling infants, and helpful tips from his childbirth preparation program, Joyous Childbirth Changes the World is a must-read for all expectant parents and those who care for them. Yoshimura’s clinic serves as a testament to the kind of compassionate birth culture that is possible if we prioritize the health and experience of women and babies.
