Charting the contributions of the multiple human and non-human actors that contribute to the birth experience, it offers a new perspective on childbirth that cuts across the often emotional debates about natural versus medicalised birth. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with mothers, midwives and obstetricians, it provides an insight into the collective endeavours that shape birth. In doing so, it also explores who does the work of childbirth, expanding the boundaries for who (and what) is responsible for this collective labour and highlighting the interdependencies that characterise it. Structured around eight chapters that each focus on a different actor in the birth space, the volume argues that pregnancy and childbearing brings us into new relationships: with ourselves, with the child to be born, our partners and families, those who care for us, and with more-than-human others. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 676 $a304.63 700 $aMcKinnon$b Katharine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0963832 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370055003321 996 $aBirthing Work$92185807 997 $aUNINA
