Avazda - Pregnancy Conversations Book Description

“The duty of gendarmerie that society ascribes to itself is not limited to pregnancy... it also includes 'maternal fascism'... which manifests itself as 'some people who see themselves as the ideal mother question everything you do'.”

“Carrying two lives in one body… is a situation that blurs the relationship between one's body and oneself, violates the boundary between self and other, and is a situation that the body tries to 'discard and accept' at the same time.”

Arus Yumul

Birth, giving birth: miracle, too “natural” and too ordinary? How do women experience birth, before and after? What do “birth teachings” say to women in different social traditions, what kind of pregnancy life and what kind of postpartum “customs” do they offer? How does medicine that treats pregnancy as an “illness” affect this experience?

Bir Avazda, women's experiences; It reveals the rich (and truly bittersweet!) world of different pregnancy perceptions, pre- and post-natal rituals, birth celebrations, and superstitious and non-superstitious beliefs.
