Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 2003.

This study explores the historical development of postpartum medical surveillance and women's contemporary experiences of postpartum care during the first month after vaginal childbirth in Canada and in the United States. An analysis of clinical publications (1880--2002) attributes key shifts in medical discourse to increased concern about the health of newborns, women's caregiving skills and psychological states, and the effects of early postpartum discharge. Observational and interview data demonstrate that postpartum hospital care aims to ensure women's proper maternal development in an often rushed environment. This current context of limited institutional postpartum care combined with broader cultural expectations of mothers affords women little capacity to attend to their own needs after birth, especially as they work to meet the needs of others. According to in-depth interviews with sixty primiparae and multiparae women from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, the demands associated with instant and independent motherhood create a challenging sociomedical context for early mothering. Women's discussions about postpartum medical surveillance, postdischarge social support, breastfeeding, and their physical conditions reveal that in attempting to adapt their bodies to the caregiving demands placed on them, women's physical and mental health may be compromised during this important transitional time.Subjects--Topical Terms:
