Abstract

Objective

To critically engage with the body project of induction of labour.

Design

A nested, qualitative study that formed part of a feasibility Random Controlled Trial investigating different methods of outpatient induction of labour. The data reported in this article were gathered via interview with women and midwives involved in the trial. All the participants who took part in the trial presented as cisgender women.

Findings

Analysis of 27 interview transcripts suggested that the expansion in choice of when, how and where to start labour can change the way decisions about labour onset is understood. The space needed for a new body project is emerging where distinctions between medicalised labour and spontaneous labour are less clear.

Conclusion

The embodiment of the new technologies of induction for those involved in this study was both a facet of increased freedom and autonomy and a gendered discourse where the normative function of routine intervention appeared more complete.

体现与引产技术

设计这是一项嵌套的定性研究，是一项可行性随机对照试验的一部分，该试验调查了门诊引产的不同方法。本文报告的数据是通过采访参与试验的妇女和助产士收集的。对 27 份访谈记录的分析表明，对分娩开始的时间、方式和地点的选择范围的扩大可能会改变人们对分娩开始的决定的理解。在医疗化分娩和自然分娩的区别不那么明显的情况下，新的身体项目所需的空间正在出现。结论对于参与本研究的人来说，引产新技术的体现既是自由和自主权增加的一个方面，也是常规干预的规范功能显得更加完整的性别话语。
