Last month a US organisation published The Beautiful Work Challenge: On Birth | The Situation on YouTube. The episode which includes two Bournemouth University professors-Ann Luce and Edwin van Teijlingen can be found here: https://youtu.be/sKdBYTASCt8
The advert for the video highlights questions such as: What’s the current situation in birth? On Birth has stories to tell about the Sahrasia hypothesis, the rulers of birth, an ongoing inquisition, the invention of obstetrics, Hollywood’s influence, and the rise of eBirth. Welcome to the age of medicalised, techno-driven birth. What you don’t know can hurt you.
Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen
