▼ Background Giving birth is one of the most important events in a woman’s life, and is a highly individualistic and unique experience with many physical, physiological and psycho-social changes in the woman’s life that requires support, help and motivation, not only from professional carers but also from family members. Aim The aim of this study was to survey women’s childbirth experiences in two state hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province in South Africa, in an attempt to identify women’s experiences of labour and birth. Method A non-experimental, quantitative survey was conducted in two state hospitals in the eThekwini District of KZN. Population included all post-partum patients in urban KZN hospitals where the research was conducted. Purposive sampling was used. Two hundred and one low risk mothers; 119 (59%) from hospital A and 82 (41%) from hospital B responded to the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Results denoted both positive and negative childbirth experiences with positive childbirth experiences being dominant on almost all domains of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire. A high level of women’s experienced capacity and experienced good professional care and support as well as professional skills were found to be associated with a positive childbirth experience. Negative childbirth experiences were reported mostly in additional comments by few respondents. These negative experiences were found to be linked to women’s poor relationships with staff, a lack of information, neglect and abandonment and not receiving pain relief. Problems such as the shortage of staff and an unfriendly environment were identified to affect childbirth support, leading to a negative experience. Uncleanliness and lack of privacy contributed to feeling unsafe, and fear, anxiety and a lack of support influenced the experience of pain. Conclusion No birth story is exactly the same, and the study results showed that negative and positive experiences coexisted; however positive and satisfying childbirth experiences were dominant amongst the majority of the respondents in the current study. How mothers feel about their labour and birth, whether positive or negative, was found to depend on their individual labour process and outcome. Thus, from the women’s perspective, the study described childbirth experience as a multi-dimensional experience. Advisors/Committee Members: Brysiewicz, Petra. (advisor).

▼ The evidence appeared to suggest that the use of hypnosis in childbirth: decreases analgesia requirements during labour; decreases oxytocin requirements during labour and, increases the incidence of spontaneous vaginal birth. A research gap was identified that the Hypnosis Antenatal Training for Childbirth (HATCh) Trial was designed to fill. The HATCh Trial was a comprehensive, high-quality, randomised trial that included 448 pregnant women in late pregnancy. It was designed to assess the efficacy of a short, three-session, standardised hypnosis intervention in late pregnancy. The HATCh study findings show that, unlike in all but one previous study, this hypnosis intervention in the third trimester was ineffective in reducing analgesia requirements during childbirth. The increased incidence of induction required in hypnosis groups when compared with controls was unexpected and suggests that hypnosis may have an effect in the non-pharmacological inhibition of spontaneous labour. Subgroup analysis suggested that hypnosis may reduce analgesia requirements when supplemented by yoga. The addition of the HATCh Trial results has substantially increased the heterogeneity of the systematic review. Systematic review sub-group analyses, according to the timing of the hypnosis training during pregnancy, suggest that training in the third trimester is ineffective in reducing analgesia requirements during labour and childbirth. However hypnosis training commencing early in pregnancy, either in the first or second trimester, may decrease pharmacological analgesia use during childbirth. Further research is required to investigate why hypnosis might inhibit the spontaneous onset of labour and how this effect might be negated, minimised or utilised. Further research is also required to investigate the optimal timing to commence antenatal hypnosis training, the number of sessions and the types of suggestions that might be most effective. Yoga may be a useful adjunct to the hypnosis intervention and should be researched further as a sole technique and together with antenatal hypnosis training during pregnancy. There is a clear need for high quality trials where hypnosis training occurs before the 3rd trimester. Ideally, training after the 3rd trimester should be compared with antenatal hypnosis training before the 3rd trimester.

▼ In colonial India, medicalization of childbirth has been historically perceived as an attempt to ‘sanitise’ the zenana (secluded quarters of a respectable household inhabited by women) as the chief site of birthing practices and to replace the dhais (traditional birth attendants ) with trained midwives and qualified female doctors. This thesis has taken a broader view of the subject but in doing so, focusses on Bengal as the geographical area of study. It has argued that medicalization of childbirth in Bengal was preceded by the reconstitution of midwifery as an academic subject and a medical discipline at the Calcutta Medical College. The consequence was the gradual ascendancy of professionalized obstetrics that prioritised research, surgical intervention and ‘surveillance’ over women’s bodies. The thesis also shows how the medicalization of childbirth was supported by the reformist and nationalist discourses of the middle-class Bengalis in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The thesis begins from the 1860s when the earliest scientific essays on childbirth and pregnancy began to appear in Bengali women’s magazines such as Bamabodhini Patrika. It ends in the 1940s, when nationalism profoundly influenced the professionalization of obstetrics - midwifery being perceived as the keystone in a nation’s progress. Bengal being the earliest seat of British power in India it was also the first to experience contact with the western civilization, culture and thought. It also had the most elaborate medical establishment along western medical lines since the foundation of the Calcutta Medical College in 1835. It is argued in the extant literature that unlike the West where professionalized obstetrics was characterised as essentially a male domain, the evolving professional domain of obstetrics in Bengal was dominated by female doctors alone. Questioning that argument, the thesis demonstrates that the domain of obstetrics in Bengal was since the 1880s shared by both female and male doctors, although the role of the latter was more pedagogic and ideological than being directly interventionist. Together they contributed to the evolution of a new medical discourse on childbirth in colonial Bengal. The thesis shows how the late nineteenth century initiatives to reform birthing practices were essentially a modernist response of the western educated colonized middle class to the colonial critique of Indian socio-cultural codes that also included an explicit reference to the ‘low’ status of Bengali women. Reforming midwifery constituted one of the ways of modernizing the middle class women as mothers. In the twentieth century, the argument for medicalization was further driven by nationalist recognition of family and health as important elements of the nation building process. It also drew sustenance from international movements, such as the global eugenic discourse on the centrality of ‘racial regeneration’ in national development, and the maternal and infant welfare movement in England and elsewhere in the inter-war… Advisors/Committee Members: Bandyopadhyay, Sekhar, Charlotte, Macdonald.

▼ In the 1970’s an increasing number of consumers of health care showed dissatisfaction with the present maternity care system. This dissatisfaction was due to the following: Consumers wanted more control and to be active participants in their health care; and they belied childbirth to be an essentially normal process, not an illness, as some hospitals treated it. As a result, these consumers no longer used the hospital for delivery of their children, but instead had the birth at home in a familiar, comfortable environment with family and friends nearby. This trend of home births was not confined to any geographic area, but was scattered across the United States. This phenomenon was recognized in 1972 in Salt Lake County and was investigated by the University of Utah College of Nursing. Information was gathered so that health care providers, such as the Public Health Department, could begin to plan their services to meet the needs of the home birth population. A few problem areas were identified in the study: It was difficult for some women to find someone who would deliver them at home; there was less prenatal care received than in the total childbearing families in the county; they sometimes failed to obtain needed lab tests and to have eye prophylaxis for the newborn. Since that study, informal evidence indicated that there was an increased incidence of home birth in Salt Lake Count. Therefore, a replication of the 1972 study was conducted to determine the percentage increase of home birth, to re-evaluate the problem areas, and to acquire selected information about the home birth population, such as their reasons for choosing a home birth, and the outcome of the pregnancy for the mother and child. The study population consisted of all women who had a planned home delivery in Salt Lake County in 1975. Information was acquired on the study population by the use of birth certificate data, and by a semi-structured interview. While only 52% of the total population was interviewed, it was found that the interviewed and non-interviewed groups were sufficiently similar to assume that the interview data was also representative of the total population. The results of the 1975 study indicated that home birth had increased in Salt Lake Count since 1972; the increase was from 53% to .77%. A demographic comparison of the home birth population with the total childbearing population in Salt Lake Count and the State of Utah revealed no significant differences between the two groups. The same problem areas identified in the 1972 study still existed in 1975. That is, the home birth families obtained less health care for mothers and children than the total childbearing public, and many times that had difficulty obtaining the care they needed. This was generally due to the negative reactions, or hostility, they encountered in the traditional maternity care system. Two major divisions in the study population were identified in relation to reasons for choosing a home birth. One group chose home births primarily because of family…

Tongans are an Oceanic culture who has been living in the United States in increasing numbers for several decades. Between October 1979 and March 1980, four English-speaking immigrant Tongan women were selected from a sample of convenience to participate in this study. The women had all experienced pregnancy and childbirth both in their home country and then subsequently in and urban American city. A series of five to eight in-depth interviews were held in each of the informant’s homes. During the interview, open-ended questions were asked by the investigator to elicit their perceptions and beliefs of their childbirth experiences and to gain information about Tongan lifeways. Transcription of the tape recorded interviews were made and data analyzed by the investigator. The data are presented in a descriptive and narrative style with direct supporting statement may by the informants. Two research questions guided the investigation: 1. Will Tongan immigrants’ perceptions of their traditional cultural beliefs and practices of childbirth be different from their perceptions of urban American birthing practices? 2. Would Tongan immigrants’ desire the American childbirth health care provides modify their care-giving practices to incorporate beliefs and practices of the traditional Tongan culture? With respect to the first question, the investigator would answer in the affirmative. The major differences between the Tongan and the urban American childbirth care systems were reflective of the overall differences between the two cultures. Extensive kinship ties provided support and caring for the parturient in Tonga whereas the parturient’s husband and professional health care providers were more greatly relied on in the United States. Socialization practices in Tonga separate male and females and unmarried females from married ones regarding sexual matters. Structured classes on childbirth and parenting were available in Tonga although none of the informants had attended these classes. Informal exchanges between the parturient and her mother or other female kinfolk prepared the parturient for childbirth. Differences between Tonga and the United States in the use of technology were evident. Medical intervention in childbirth was minimal in Tonga. In the United States, the Tongan informants encountered technological interventions during childbirth. A sense of anxiety about the equipment was reported, but also a sense of safety and satisfaction regarding its availability was related. Economically, the cost of childbirth care in Tonga was minimal compared to the cost for care in the United States. With respect to the second research question, the investigator would answer negatively on a superficial level. The Tongan informants replied that American health care professional did not need to change their practices to accommodate to Tongan lifeways. However, conflict and ambivalence were noted as…

▼ The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between attendance at childbirth education classes by both mother and father and the mother’s muscle tension experiences in the last trimester of pregnancy; the mother’s emotional tension upon admission to the labor room; the length of the mother’s labor and the amount of medication and anesthesia she received in labor. The thirty-seven couples for this study were selected from mothers who planned to deliver at the University of Utah Medical Center and who attended childbirth and parenthood preparation classes at the University of Utah, College of Nursing. Hypotheses one and two stated an inverse relationship between the amount of muscle tension and mother experienced in the last trimester of pregnancy and the number of class hours attended by the mother and the number of class hours attend by the father, respectively. There were two parts to the measure of muscle tension in the last trimester of pregnancy ( Crawford, 1968), On both of these, there was a positive correlation with the number of class hours attended by the mother which was in the opposite direction than hypothesized. There was a negative correlation with both parts of the muscle tension measure with the number of class hours attended by the mother and the number of class hours attended by the father, respectively. There were two parts to the measure of muscle tension in the last trimester of pregnancy (Crawford, 1968). On both of these, there was a positive correlation with the number of class hours attended by the mother which was in the opposite direction than hypothesized. There was a negative correlation with both parts of the muscle tension measure with the number of class hours attended by the father, although not as a statistically significant level. Hypotheses three and four stated an inverse relationship between the amount of emotional tension the mother exhibits upon admission to the labor from the number of class hours attended by the mother and the number of class hours attended by the father, respectively. The mother’s emotional tension upon admission to the labor room was determined by four measures as outlined by Crawford (1968): 1) verbal expression of fear at the time of admission, 2) behavioral symptoms of emotional tension at the time of admission, 3) admission pulse and 4) the difference between the mother’s last prenatal systolic blood pressure and her admission systolic blood pressure. Of these four measures, two has a statistically significant relationship with the number of class hours attended by the mother. The mother’s verbal expression of fear, e = -.54, P < .05, and the difference in the mother’s systolic blood pressure readings, r = -.01, P < .05, partially supported the hypothesis that the more hours of class the mother attends the less emotional tension she would exhibit upon admission to the labor room. The correlation of the difference in the mother’s systolic blood pressure readings was r = -.18, P < .05, and was the only one of the four measures of…

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of childbirth classes by comparing the amount of tension and anxiety experience by mother before attending Preparation for Childbirth and Parenthood (PCP) classes and after completing the classes. This was then related to the outcome of pregnancy determined by factors associated with labor and delivery. The 42 primigravid women in this study were selected from PCP classes held at Latter-day Saints Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah. Both the Crawford (1968) muscle tension questionnaire and the IPAT 8-Parallel-Form Anxiety Battery Form A were administered the first evening of class. When the expectant mothers reached their thirty-seventh week of gestation, both tests were repeated using Form B of the IPAT Anxiety Battery. The Crawford muscle tension showed an increase of tension when repeated at 37 weeks gestation, but not to a significant degree. The level of statistical significance was established at .05. The IPAT test revealed a decrease of anxiety, but not to a significant extent. Both the before and after anxiety and tension tests were well within the normal range. The scores of the tension and anxiety test given at 37 weeks gestation were related to the mothers’ labor and delivery experience. The amount of analgesia the mothers received during labor showed a low positive correlation with the amount of tension and anxiety shown by the mothers at 37 weeks. Anesthesia showed a negative correlation with tension and anxiety, r = -.12, and r = -.40, p < .01 respectively. Both analgesia and anesthesia used were well within the normal limits for labor and delivery. To determine the type of potential complications of labor and delivery, 27 measures were used. The length of the second stage of labor was short compared to established norms (Friedman, 1967). The length of labor decreased as the tension response increased, r = -.28, p < .05. Mothers who scored higher on the tension questionnaire tended to have spontaneous deliveries; this had a positive correlation of r = .32, p < .05. Lacerations showed a negative correlation with the tension response, r = -.30, p < .05. Both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure correlated positively to a statistically significant degree with anxiety, r = .29, p < .05 and r = .28, p < .05 respectively. The other measures studied did not show a significant statistical correlation with tension or anxiety. Mothers participating in this study showed an average amount of anxiety and tension both before and after PCP classes. This was also reflected in a normal amount of analgesia and anesthesia given during labor and delivery and few notable complications of labor and delivery.

▼ The purpose of this study was to describe the range of emotional experiences during childbirth and to identify the variables and events which may influence that experience. This was a descriptive, preliminary study utilizing elements of the grounded-theory approach. The sample consisted of 101 primiparous women with uncomplicated childbirth courses who delivered at six Salt Lake area hospitals. A esearcher-developed questionnaire was administered within 24 to 48 hours after delivery. After preliminary analysis of data, a subsample was selected which was divided into two groups: Those women having a peak-experience at delivery and those women having a below-average emotional experience. Contrasts were sought between these two groups for all data. The emotional experience of childbirth was not influenced by demographic variables of age, marital status, religion, occupation, employment, or income. The occurrence of peak-experience was not significantly influenced by length of labor or type of delivery. In addition, it did not seem to matter whether the pregnancy was planned or unplanned, where prenatal care was received, or whether childbirth preparation classes were attended. In this study it was found that the majority of women experienced positive emotions during childbirth which most often emerged during the pushing stage of labor and continued through delivery. The dimensions of memory of events, awareness of others, sense of control over the experience, and the desire to play an active role in childbirth were all significantly related to the occurrence of peak-experience at delivery. The condition of the infant during childbirth (as evidenced by fetal monitor tracings and Apgar scores) was influential on the emotional experience. The partner's presence and support during childbirth tended to be important to the occurrence of peak-experience. In addition, the data seem to indicate that healthcare professionals' major foci should be ensuring adequate preparation for childbirth, encouraging a woman's sense of control in childbirth, and helping the partner to support the parturient woman; all of these factors seem to enhance the emotional experience of childbirth.

▼ In India, globalized flows of bio-medical discourse, practices and technologies are reshaping the field of reproductive healthcare, and the performance of childbirth more specifically. These projects aim to produce institutional delivery rooms that are "safe and modernized" by equating the utilization of westernized, obstetric techniques for managing delivery with better birth outcomes. Yet, these projects often evoke dynamic tensions between the imagined labor rooms NGOs seek to produce and the lived realties of labor in a local context. In this thesis, I examine the ways NGOs market and disseminate state and global discourses around safe, institutional delivers to local communities through a case study of one NGO working in rural southern Rajasthan. Drawing on data from participant observation and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with NGO staff and skilled-birth attendants employed by community health centers, I argue that at the interface of NGO, state, and global relations of power, a commodified discourse in the form of Evidenced-based Delivery (EBD) practices is emerging. This discourse is marketed through a political economy of hope that promotes EBDs as essential for safe delivery. In this system, NGOs function as conduits for transmitting idealized notions of the safe and modern delivery room, and thereby affect a shift in what skilled-birth attendants and communities come to expect from their childbirth experiences – expectations that I argue are often difficult to meet given current training levels, limited economic resources, and a diverse set of cultural values around childbirth. My findings indicate that while Evidence-based Delivery practices may improve birth outcomes in some contexts, in the delivery rooms of rural Rajasthan, they are functioning essentially as technologies that capitalize on the political economy of hope by evoking the medical imaginary.

▼ Although some childbirth experiences (e.g. caesarean section) appear to be understood in moral terms, there is a dearth of empirical work on how women situate birth experiences within a moral framework. The aim of the current doctoral research was therefore to explore how women morally position various childbirth related options, interventions, decisions, and experiences within their narratives of childbirth, and to explore how these narratives and moral valuations reflect broader ideologies of mothering and childbirth. Narrative interviews, in which women described their experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and the transition to motherhood, were conducted with first-time mothers (N=21) who had given birth within the last 18 months. Interviews were analyzed using an inductive, thematic approach which explored both semantic and latent aspects of women’s narratives. Findings illustrated that women negotiated with both natural and medicalized understandings of childbirth, although tenets of alternative childbirth ideology were especially prominent in women’s narratives. Women frequently used a moral voice of justice and autonomy within their childbirth narratives, which brought the concepts of individual harm, rights, and justice to the fore and reflected a valuation of autonomy and choice. The salience of autonomy was further illustrated in how women’s autonomy was supported, constrained, or transgressed during labour and delivery, and the significance this had for how women felt about their childbirth experience. Additionally, women invoked a moral casual ontology and a moral voice of care wherein they described particular birth choices (e.g. epidural and induction) as potentially harmful, and situated the primary responsibility for birth outcomes in themselves and their decisions. Finally, women negotiated with moral, biomedical, and ideological frameworks in ways which helped them re/negotiate a positive moral and maternal identity in the wake of undesirable birth outcomes and birth-related stigma. Findings make visible the ways in which the moral dimensions of childbirth may be understood and negotiated by women, and offer insights into how maternity care can incorporate such understandings and promote supportive, respectful care.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mental health is still the step-child of Health Services, although many studies show the serious negative impact it has on the mother, baby and the family. Knowledge about Postnatal Depression (PND) and associated risk factors which influence the development of PND is vital for early detection and intervention. Worldwide PND affects on average 10-15% of women after giving birth regardless of socio-economic status, race or education. Studies also reveal that the prevalence of PND is as high as 40-60% amongst women after giving birth. The goal of the study was to investigate the prevalence and factors influencing PND in a rural setting, in the Witzenberg Sub-district. The objectives included determining the prevalence of PND and identifying the contributing risk factors associated with PND. A descriptive explorative research design with a quantitative approach was applied. The target population was (N=1605) mothers, 18 years and older who gave birth in this Sub-district in one year, a convenience sampling method was used to select the study sample of (n=159/10%) participants who met the criteria and who gave voluntary permission to take part in the study. Validity and reliability was supported through the use of validated questionnaires EPDS and BDI including a questionnaire based on demographical, psychosocial and obstetrical data. In addition experts in statistics, nursing and psychiatry were consulted including language experts who validated the correctness of the Afrikaans and Xhosa translated questionnaires. A pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility of the study and all data was collected personally by the researcher with the support of two trained field workers. Ethics approval was obtained from Stellenbosch University and permission from the Department of Health, Provincial Government of the Western Cape, including informed written consent from each participant. The data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician and are presented with histograms and frequency tables. The relationship between continuous response variables and nominal input variables was analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Various statistical tests were applied to determine statistical associations between variables such as the chi-square tests using a 95% confidence interval. Non-parametric tests such as the Mann-Whitney U–test or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for randomised design. Levene’s test was used for Homogeneity of Variance and the Bonferonni test of probability. The study revealed that 50.3% of the mothers, who participated in the study, had PND. Various risk factors were determined in this study that influences the development of PND. Results include statistical associations between PND and the following: - unplanned babies and unwelcome babies (p=<0,01) - life events (p=0.01) - partner relationship (p=<0.01) - family and social support (p=<0.1) Furthermore, the majority of the participants (53.8%) with PND (n=80) had a history of a psychiatric illness… Advisors/Committee Members: Stellenberg, E.

▼ The primary concern of this thesis is the representation, in the eighteenth century, of mothers' bodies. It is also concerned with the treatment of domestic duties which were supposed a consequence of a woman's very nature. Throughout the first seven decades of the century, medical men and virtuosi demonstrated particular interest in the nature of physicality, and especially in women's bodies, pregnancy, and childbirth. 1 will be testing out a widely-held view that dissection and new anatomical findings regarding women's bodies produced a new idealisation of motherhood, and that this was immediately translated into lay-medical and related discourse, and was thus firmly established in middle-class culture by the end of the century. The relationship between primary medical and lay-medical literature raises several questions: my work asks whether lay-medical literature mirrored medical writing, and whether there was a direct translation of material from one to the other. Lay-medical texts for women are especially interesting. They offer an insight into precisely what examples of female nature and correspondingly 'natural' behaviour were intended for women readers. Representations of maternity in specific forms of writing which rely heavily upon women for subject matter are further extended in the second half of this study. 1 have focussed upon two genres, conduct literature and narrative fiction. Neither is conventionally associated with medical or lay-medical discourse, yet both have significant links with these. Conduct literature and narrative fiction have much to offer in this attempt to recover what women were being taught about their bodies and roles; both were concerned with what the body displays externally, and with corresponding ideas of 'naturalness'. Conduct literature for women was enjoying a period of growth and change, and has obvious, direct links with medical texts. Narrative fiction also had important links with medical writing, and 1 will describe these. The dissemination of medical representations of the maternal body was a process which contributed to a contradictory cultural sense of female identity.

▼ This thesis examines the embodied, spiritual and spatial experiences of maternity for Māori women. It reveals how colonial and patriarchal discourses are embedded and embodied in the spaces of childbirth in Aotearoa New Zealand. I use a mana wahine (Māori women’s) framework to critique discourses that continue to marginalise and isolate Māori women and their whānau (family group) during their maternity experiences. Importantly, this research highlights the possibilities of reclaiming and reconfiguring mana wahine in both theory and practice. In doing so, I conceptualise new geographies that account for, and celebrate, uniquely Māori understandings and expressions of maternity. Mana wahine provides a much needed theoretical framework that enables Māori women to (re)define and (re)present our lived realities on our own terms. A qualitative mixed method approach of interviews, solicited diary writing and a marae based wānanga is employed to examine the lived experiences of birth for ten first time mothers, five midwives and a wānanga of 17 women and their whānau. In total 32 women participated in various phases of the research. Empirical material is arranged around four key themes. The first considers the ways in which colonialism is lived and embodied in maternity experiences for many whānau. New formations of colonialism are evident in the silence that can surround the maternal body for women in this research. The second theme highlights how whakapapa (genealogy), wairua (spirituality), and whenua (land/placenta), can provide a powerful reconceptualisation of the maternal body that offers new possibilities for thinking about maternal embodiment, the spaces of birth (both material and discursive) and maternity policy and practice. Third, it is argued that many women and whānau occupy a number of in-between maternity spaces as a result of our colonised realities. As such, considerations of space from a mana wahine perspective can serve to destabilise the dualisms that dominate the spatial politics of birth in Aotearoa. Finally, this thesis posits that by reclaiming the collective and spiritual spaces of birth and afterbirth it is possible to transform and empower women and whānau in their maternity experiences. This thesis responds to a scarcity of academic scholarship on mana wahine maternities. It advances mana wahine and feminist geographical knowledges by providing a critical spatial perspective on Māori women’s maternal geographies. It is argued that reclaiming mana wahine maternities has the potential to transform women’s birthing experiences by (re)asserting the tino rangatiratanga (self-determination) of women, of their babies, and of their whānau, and thus the rangatiratanga of Māori communities, hapū (sub-tribe/sub-tribes) and iwi (tribe/tribes).

▼ This dissertation reports on a qualitative study of the childbearing experiences of 20 women having their first child. The study attempts to examine the dominant discourses surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood, with specific reference to the medical discourse, and to describe the way in which these impact on the women's experiences. The non-probability, convenience sample used in the study comprised women attending an antenatal class held at a Cape Town private hospital. The sample was relatively socially and medically homogeneous. The size and nature of the sample makes broad generalisations tentative. Individual interviews based on in-depth and open-ended questions were conducted. These were aimed at gathering qualitative data on the women's perceptions of their experiences. The women were interviewed during the last trimester of pregnancy about their experiences of pregnancy and their anticipation of childbirth. A further interview conducted a few weeks after birth focused on their experience of childbirth within the hospital setting and their impressions of early motherhood. It was found that the women's accounts of their experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood were shaped to a large extent by the discourses within which the process of childbearing has been constructed. These include the medical, 'natural' birth and feminine discourses. The dominance of the medical discourse of birth was evident in the fact that the medical view was thoroughly incorporated into the women's perceptions of their childbearing experiences. This view of birth, along with the dominance of scientific medical knowledge, was found to limit the perception of acceptable birthing practice. The medical discourse intersected with both the 'natural' birth discourse which, as a social construction, was shown to uphold essentialist and prescriptive notions of motherhood, and the feminine discourse. This discourse, along with its assumptions regarding the mothering role, was fom1d to impact on the women's experiences through the creation of unrealistic expectations and ideals, which contributed to the shock and stress of first-time motherhood.

▼ In 1965, the rate of cesarean birth was 4.5% (Taffel et al. 1987). Presently, the World Health Organization recommends a rate of 15% (WHO, 2009) and yet the current cesarean rate in the United States is double this recommendation, closing in at 32.8% (Hamilton & Martin, 2011). The Lamaze International Education Council addressed the growing cesarean rate in 2004 by publishing an article in the Journal of Perinatal Education which outlined six care practices to promote normal birth. The second care practice, freedom of movement throughout labor, holds promising application for neurologic music therapy. Numerous studies have found ambulation during labor to be effective in increasing oxytocin levels, advancing labor progression, decreasing length of labor, and improving birth outcome. Previous research on music therapy-assisted childbirth has focused exclusively on the use of music listening to decrease pain and anxiety. However, the effect of using music to support ambulation through motor entrainment with laboring mothers has not been studied. In addition, the effects of music in stimulating the release of oxytocin has documented beneficial effects on several patient populations but its use during parturition has not been studied. Pitocin, a synthetic form of oxytocin, is routinely given to induce and augment labor. However, some mothers decline this intervention as it can have unpleasant side effects and disrupts physiologic birth. Likewise, its use can be contraindicated for some mothers such as those with a history of prior cesarean section. As a result, there is a need to identify nonpharmacological interventions which appeal to laboring mothers and medical staff, support normal labor progression, and improve outcome. The purpose of this pilot study was to identify initial evidence regarding the effect music-facilitated movement has in supporting ambulation during labor, determine the feasibility of recruiting participants from area obstetrical clinics, evaluate prenatal training and labor support procedures, assess participant preferences and hospital staff support of the intervention during labor, and analyze the effect on labor progression and outcome. A single-system design was used for this investigation. One mother responded to the advertisements, met criteria for the study, and participated in three prenatal training sessions. Upon the start of active labor, the participant contacted the investigator, who provided nearly two hours of support while laboring at home. At the time of labor support, the participant served as her own control and an ABAB design was used to assess the effects of music-facilitated ambulation. A FitBit Flex pedometer was worn by the participant to compare ambulation activity between conditions. Data on the participant’s use of the intervention and effect on labor progression, as measured by contraction frequency, was collected during that time. Following the birth, data were collected from the online pedometer software, medical records, and through a post-partum… Advisors/Committee Members: LaGasse, Blythe (advisor), Davis, William (committee member), Nett, Terry (committee member).
