Pregnancy and risk

Description
Information

Fewer and fewer children are born with disabilities. Similarly, the number of children or mothers who lose their lives during pregnancy or childbirth is decreasing. Yet parents-to-be are more aware of the risks of pregnancy than ever before.

This paradox is the focus of the book. Grit Niklasson sheds light on it using the concepts of normality perception and risk perception. Having 'a normal child' is the wish of the vast majority of pregnant women, but they rarely have the same perception of what normality actually entails - and in many cases it is also different from that of the healthcare professional.

The author also discusses the interaction between pregnant women and healthcare professionals in the dialogue about risk, technology and normality, as well as communication in interprofessional collaboration with pregnant women. She puts special focus on socially vulnerable pregnant women.
