- W1769522019 abstract "This thesis examines the ways in which childbearing women living in poverty madesense of their lives and experiences. Based in the West Midlands, in an area of urbandecay and major inequalities in health, the research focused on the lives of 25 womenduring their childbirth experience. The theoretical framework is feministpoststructuralism and throughout the study, I recognise that there is no single, unifiedwoman's voice, and no universal solution to the problem of pregnancy and poverty.The thesis examines the different ways in which individual women experiencepregnancy and poverty. The research draws on a range of ethnographic methodsincluding interviews and participant observation. The fieldwork was undertaken over atwo year period mainly through meetings with women in their own homes but also atthe GP surgery and other more public places.The data discussed in the thesis illustrate the private stresses and strains of povertyrelated to how women cope with pregnancy and the demands of small children. I wasespecially interested in how childbearing women living in poverty were alike and howthey were different. The women who contributed to this study shared a welldeveloped sense of responsibility, doing what was right and putting their children first.They worked hard to be seen as respectable, and balanced the needs of their childrenwith the demands of a life dominated by poverty. I considered the networks of supportand the importance of grandmothers in some women's lives. I have considered thechanging and varied relationships that women had with the men in their lives and thedifferent ways in which they resolved conflict in their relationships. Some womenwere determined to go it alone and to rid themselves of the men in their lives. For overhalf the women in the sample, domestic violence was an everyday reality of their livesand I examined the similarities and differences in their experiences. I have also foundevidence of the adverse effect of some midwives' attitudes towards these women.Beliefs based on stereotypes and prejudice meant that women living in povertysometimes experienced less than adequate care. The thesis concludes by makingrecommendations for further research and for improving midwifery practice for thebenefit of women." @default.
