Résumé : |
Background and objective: Increasingly, pregnant women are labelled 'high-BMI'. They are often advised to follow a specialised pathway, due to perceived greater risks. This research, which comes from a novel user-led citizen science collaboration between Big Birthas and Parenting Science Gang (PSG), aimed to explore the effect of a 'high-BMI' label on experiences of pregnancy and birth autonomy.
Methods: Citizen scientists recruited 20 women with two+ full-term UK births, the most recent within the last three years, and whose recorded booking body mass index (BMI) was >29, through social media, parenting websites and informal networks. A qualitative survey was emailed to those who screened positive for inclusion. Conclusion: Being labelled 'high-BMI' affects women's experiences of pregnancy/birth autonomy, regardless of medical need. Some women experience iatrogenic harm to their mental health as a result of interactions with health care professionals, while other women decline wanted care to protect themselves. |
