This article examines the right of pregnant women to determine what will happen to their own bodies and whether their right to autonomy is absolute when refusing treatment which may be consider in their best interests and/or their fetuses'.
A theoretical framework is used supported by relevant legal cases to argue that in some instance the rights of women to refuse treatment, most notably caesarean section have been overridden in favour of the fetus. The conclusion from the legal cases is that despite the consequences a woman's rights should not be overridden in favour of the fetus.

Depression is a common problem in the general population and is projected to be one of the major health issues facing the world in 2020 (WHO). Serious consequences exist for the sufferer, and the family.
Given that women are twice as likely to suffer from depression, and are at particular risk in the child bearing years, children from infancy may be affected, with long term ramifications.
Postnatal depression (PND) occurs in 14% of women, and there may be a similar number affected antenatally. The perinatal period thus is a crucial time to identify depression, and offers an excellent opportunity to screen women due to their increased contact with health services.

The findings of a pilot study undertaken to determine what features of childbirth have a positive effect on women's sense of self are presented in this paper.
This research contrasted the midwifery and medical models of maternity care using feminist constructivism, personal narrative and a thematic analysis.
Using theory that is strongly grounded in empirical data, this paper outlines the influence of features inherent in the woman's experience of childbirth that have been theoretically linked to how women feel about themselves.
