Résumé : |
Since the publication of the Morecambe Bay investigation (Kirkup 2015), there has been significant debate in the UK about the use of the term 'normal birth' and the role of the midwife in promoting normality and normal birth. In response, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) embarked on a multifaceted project, called the Re:Birth project, in 2021. This project sought to consult widely on the language used in the UK to describe different types of birth. The method and results of this consultative process have been described and published elsewhere. This paper describes a further key part of the Re:Birth project.
This part of the Re:Birth project sought to understand the evolution of the concept of normal birth and its relationship with the role of the midwife. This was done through analysing the language used in the UK's statutory midwives' rules, codes of practice and in midwifery textbooks, The two midwifery textbooks analysed were Mayes' midwifery and Myles textbook for midwives, which have been the dominant midwifery textbooks in the United Kingdom (UK) for over 80 years. |
