Redefining -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexBirthing a Mother is the first ethnography to probe the intimate experience of gestational surrogate motherhood. In this beautifully written and insightful book, Elly Teman shows how surrogates and intended mothers carefully negotiate their cooperative endeavor. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork among Jewish Israeli women, interspersed with cross-cultural perspectives of surrogacy in the global context, Teman traces the processes by which surrogates relinquish any maternal claim to the baby even as intended mothers accomplish a complicated transition to motherhood. Teman's groundbreaking analysis reveals that as surrogates psychologically and emotionally disengage from the fetus they carry, they develop a profound and lasting bond with the intended mother.Surrogate body and the pregnant selfSurrogate mothersIsraelMothersIsraelPregnancyIsraelJudaismacademic nonfiction.anthropology.childbirth.cross cultural perspectives.delivery.ethnographers.ethnography.family sociology.family.fetus.gender studies.gestation.global context.health care.humanity.jewish israeli women.life changes.maternal claims.motherhood.new mothers.nonfiction reference.parenthood.pregnancy.psychology of surrogacy.sociology.surrogacy.surrogate motherhood.surrogates.thought provoking.women.womens relationships.Surrogate mothersMothersPregnancyJudaism.306.874/3Teman Elly792110MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823597003321Birthing a mother1771149UNINA
